Just kidding…caps on…to our wall at least. We have finally done it. The large wall that runs diagonal is officially complete. Well, mostly. It will still need a little stain, but for the most part it is done. With all of the sections full of rocks, it came time to wrap the tops in…

Fresh Food Fever
Jubilant from our recent trip to Belize, we were excited that the weather was warm and perfect for getting the garden going by the time we returned home. Our yard was once again a jungle due to all the rain, but it was a quick clean-up. K and I both had taken an extra…
Water Optimization
Jazzed to finally see blue sky and sunshine, K and I headed out to the yard to get it prepped before we head off on a trip to Belize for 2 weeks. Our plan was to get all of the barrels and beds ready for when we get home so that we can get planting….
Weather Delays
Jinxing ourselves by thinking that spring had finally come in our last post was a little upsetting. With hopes of getting some work done before we head on our holidays, mother nature decided to play a not so foolish April fools prank on us, by dumping 1/2″ of snow! But that wasn’t the end of…
Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring!
Jacket weather is almost over, with sweatshirt weather just around the corner. I run warm, so it is already sweatshirt weather for me, but I still see enough jackets out to know the weather has not warmed up quite enough to be full-on springtime, but we are oh-so-close. The winter months are wonderful as K…
Sisyphus
Journeywork with rocks has been the major project of our summer… and so far it has turned out exactly how we wanted it! Although we have felt like Sisyphus, hauling rock up and down the hill for the summer, the task has been anything but Sisyphean. Where Sisyphus’ task was futile and repetitive, our task…
Tim “The Toolman” Taylor moments
Jumping right back into the groove of getting stuff done in the yard, the weather has turned cool, the skies are clear and the air is crisp and clean. It is the perfect time to be doing some more work on the wall for our main path. After letting the concrete set for a few…
Jungle with a side of concrete
Jungles are not meant to have concrete poured in them, but sometimes concrete is the way to ensure our jungle stays alive and well. Or at least we hope that is the case. As noted in my last post, we spent the weekend working on putting in the posts that will make our new retaining…
Where has summer gone?
Just breathe…FINALLY! After two months of smoky skies, worst air quality in the world, and dim apocolyptic scenery, we are finally seeing numerous days of sun, with a little rain! The smoke isn’t far, and if the wind blows right, then we can catch a smell of it on the breeze, but it has been…
Do you like your veggies smoked?
Juggernaut wildfires are wreaking havoc on our beautiful province of BC, with the entire Cariboo region and areas of the Interior battling to save homes, industry and livelihoods. We now share our home with K’s parents who had to be evacuated due to one of these aggressive fires, something we are more than happy to…
