Poot get-together


playing on devices 


with one exception, but to be honest there was lots of 
horsing around too


we got together so we could meet up with the recent arrivals


It was a nice get-together


I went down to the basement


to capture a few more family members


and this girl didn't want her picture taken
 so her dad swung her around
she is cute!

Bruce Trail near Airport Road

Hiking near the airport road

getting our feet wet in ice-cold water


the first trillium after a few hours


a "Jack in the pulpit" flower pushing through a leaf


lunch 


nice far views


beside the reservoir


It was a lot of hills this time


 the path goes through the tree

picture using the timer

It was a very nice hike

Northern Flicker


Rien wondered what kind of bird this was
His suggestion is a Northern Flicker


a woodpecker kind


that behaves like a Robin
I think he nailed it

A House on Wheels


Friday evening a house drove by

kind of strange, but it works

New Isocells


our "old" Isocells had trouble getting up to the top


seams had popped so we couldn't tape it
we only had trouble on one side of the barn
the other side is fine

we found the main problem, 
we didn't know there was a big hole hiding at the end that is closed in


we put the new tubes in



inflated them, and we are ready to roll
didn't take long at all


the rain sensor is corroded 
so a picture was taken to see what needs to be done
