Well, with camping, Powwows, Wadgefest and life, we have severely neglected our indoor sprouts (some now 3 feet tall hardly sprouts anymore) and outdoor garden but yesterday, as Lloyd began mowing the lawn, I raced to weed what I could that he might chop it up with the lawnmower and it become mulch [Read more]
The kids and I enjoy searching for and finding mushrooms anytime we are in the bush and White Lake is no exception. Here are some that we found on our recent trip, please, if you know there names, leave a comment to share the info! Big Brother, there’s no one else like him in her [Read more]
Notre jardin s’en vient pas mal bien, même qu’on s’en occupe pas beaucoup vu qu’on étaient à White Lake (parc provincial). Ce soir aussitôt revenuent moi & Emeraude coururent pour le jardin avant même d’avoir dépaqueter la van lol. Les photos ci-dessous sont [Read more]
