Turning Soil

 Potting soul and manure mix for my flower 🌹 pots


Got my soil turn and mixed read for this year.

My dad said mid shovelling don’t go have a stroke on me now.  I was sweating badly and still got to walk this evening and I did a six and half hour work shift today.

But that’s wasn’t even the hard part of the day, I got my garden 🪴 turned over and four bags of manure in it.

My soil looks great 😊  and the soil looks rich.

Better than the flower pots.


I some garlic has come up. From last spring.  So that looks great 😊  I got lots of garlic 🧄 

It was sprouting this year and looks like it will be a good year for it.


Also some onions 🧅 ready this year to, should be big for end of year.


I also got a wired fence order in to make a bigger garden o or a dog run.  But I really just wanted to make a flower tower in my red planters.  So I’m getting ready for it in May.


I counted out 30 feet that I’d need to cut out some grass for another 🪴 garden with the left over wire fencing, just to keep the dog out of it.

I’ll get started on it this year and work on it in the next year.  But I’d like to get it in.  Have to ask my brother if I could dig up some grass for a bigger garden.  We’re planning on being here for at least six to eight more years. With the dog 🐶 living near another decade before we could move.


I’d like to dig up 8 feet from the fence all around the lilacs and hopefully dig that stump out of the ground.  But dig up all the grass turn it over and plant I’m undecided yet what should get planted in it.  Potatoes 🥔 or cabbage 🥬 or any ideas 💡 people? Send me a message what I should plant in it.  

I was even thinking blueberries 🫐 plants and filling it up with blueberries 🫐 maybe a dozen blue berries.

All I got to do is get out the stump. That’s the big reason of doing it. Digging a big whole in the ground thought I’d even it around it by digging a garden for it. Also the neighbours yard is swarming over with there weeds so that’s another reasonable way of keeping the vines from coming to much over.  Hopefully shave off 10 minutes of mowing but yes I know I’m trading it in for weeding.  I’m good for it. If I could shave off the 45 minutes it takes just to do the back to 1/2 hour. I’d be happy.  Also less yard the dog will make a mess of. Hey who am I convincing here.

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  🏃‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run 🏃‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

Walk mid October with my Mom

  Walks with my mom The water looks like glass just crystal smooth.  My mom and I are walking to the river and in life. It’s like we’re always walking away.  Getting closer to the end, my poet mind says.   I say I got to enjoy these walks and I was silent most the walk just trying to enjoy 😊 my time with her. Or walk end more so with 🐾 paw printed pants 👖 from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs 🐕. A wonderful time.  I often thought it was too early to spell like alcohol.  But surprised to pass another walker, but each to their own I probably smell like an ashtray. Although I never smoked or chewed tobacco on my walk.  I just want to walk with my mom.  Often times I don’t think I could spit out everything I wanted to say so much so that I just said in these moments you don’t have to chew tobacco and say anything. Dixie and both us individually by the fallen tree arch. A path going to the river, under which most the trees 🌳 there are...

Walk and a run in to the vet

 Another adventure for Dixie,  she is an expensive dog….🐕 We enjoy 😊 our walks. Up top of the coulee you can see the university  Sonny and I go walking the south side dog park,  it tricky terrain for sure.  It’s nice 😊 for the scenery I think, yet a bit treacherous at times.  A person has to be careful let alone a dog 🐕 being careful. Here is Sonny and I smiling giving a thumbs up to the camera 📸  The walk was decent though some difficult 😞 parts for today, Dixie is on a 14 day hiatus from walking.  She’ll probably want to go sooner rather than later. I think we’re stuck to just five minute poop 💩 walks than the hour or two hour walks we usually do. I’m unsure when it happen but my guess is near the end of the walk when I noticed it. Dixie gets to close to the bushes today, I kept looking her over but noticed a different spot on her at the end of our walk.   Dixie goes through some bushes and gouged a piece out of her. Now Dixie has th...
