Friday Yard Work

 Get turning soil


I went out to the front to see a walker that comes by at a certain time to have a cigar. To talk about books were reading.  The dogs like to see each other. Dixie she tells everybody she is interested in meeting. Giving a Yelp here and there for excitement.

I get digging.

Will get the seeds going. Notice some garlic coming up and dug around it ☺️. Even some lettuce 🥬 is coming up.  I don't know if it'll survive this last snow storm.  The dirt got turned and some leafs got dug in also raked up some leaves and put in a bin.  

 While I'm in the back the wind is blowing and diet is getting in my face.  I am working feeling very good this Friday.  Usually I don't get this much done.

Usually up to my head in anxiety.

After the years the deer took care of the cedar.  Took everything from the bottom off.  All the time I'd look at it and discuss with my brother that we'd trim it up like his house.

I started think I'd better just do the job. I pull out my sawzall and saw and some clippers and clean up.  The bottom under the bush I had the biggest clean up.  It was loaded with twigs and a wasp nest.  Stuff all the way through.  I get cleaning up and some wasp move some didn't.

The stuff on the ground under the tree filled my bin.

Looks way better now.

The deer 🦌 won't get it anymore.





Now to do the back yard cedar.  It's out of control too. And my brother said he'd help me work on it.  The other day my dad came over and we did the raspberry bush.

Lots of jobs to keep this house 🏘️ going.

I'm hopeful I might get help to run it to the waste.  But I might rent a trailer and take it myself.  Start looking at these jobs and asking for help and it would be stated it will happen.

Just decided to do it myself.

Gives a person anxiety not working on a yard and it not getting attend to.  This will be a nice change.  Here's a video of the deer 🦌.

As I got doing this my neighbor started weed whacking his cedar to shape it.  I thought that be a good idea to get a round look on the top.



You can see the bush had better days.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

By
  🎉 Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

By
 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run 🏃‍♂️

By
  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone 📞 also. Hoping to take the dog 🐕 for a run 🏃‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating 😅 by the time I got home 🏡. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. 🏃‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
