The most beautiful day yet

Today was so beautiful and quintessentially spring, that it was stupid. Clear blue sky, white puffy clouds, emerald green fields, fresh warm breeze and bright sunshine. It was the kind of day that makes me want to just sit in the grass and enjoy the air.

Hugo came to wake me up this morning.
For the morning I was working with Adam because he had to go into Edinburgh for the weekend. I was chopping wood for the sauna and turning over the soil in the garden. 

Shiraz helping me with the wood splitting.


Chopping like a lumberjack.

Beautiful day to work outside.
It was so pleasant just being outside, I really enjoyed the work. I was also kinda tired, so it was nice to just slowly go about my buisness in a relaxed manner.  Also, I took a zillion pictures so there will be plenty in this post. So enjoy!



The poly tunnel where I was turning the soil.

The sauna. Built by Adam and Rich.
By the time I had finished with those jobs, it was just about lunch time. Adam had already left, but he left me food up in the tree house. So I got to have a relaxing lunch in the tree house. Which is just so cool. I seriously can't get over it. 

Inside the tree house. Awesome, right?



Lunch!

Made some coffee to help wake me up. Turns out I suck at using a french press...
After a leisurely lunch, and a watery coffee that actually did help wake me up, I went down to the house to help Richard. We worked on the electric fence, putting in new posts and making sure that it still worked. We must have walked the perimeter of the field a few times, which gave a great opportunity for enjoying the view. It was so clear today!



Does this remind anyone else of that windows background? You know with the hill...and the mountains? And you always wonder what's on the other side of the hill...
We finished up about an half hour early, so I got to go for a nice walk and enjoy the afternoon.

It was just a really relaxed and beautiful spring day here on the farm. I hope you enjoyed the photos and thank you for reading. Be sure to check back for more!

  1. Wow- what a lovely day! Great photos! We missed you in Quebec City today and Abby sang the poutine song in your honor. That cat Shiraz is so cute - will you be bringing him home?

  2. Days that beautiful and clear are real treats there. I'm glad you were outside enjoying this one, even if you were working.
