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 πŸͺ΄ 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 πŸ§„ 

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


Also some onions πŸ§… 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 πŸͺ΄ 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 πŸ₯” or cabbage πŸ₯¬ or any ideas πŸ’‘ 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 πŸƒ‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  πŸƒ‍♂️ 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 πŸƒ‍♂️   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 ...

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

  πŸŽ‰ 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...

Night run 5 Celsius πŸƒ‍♂️

  Night run πŸƒ‍♂️ after work  Dixie and I get running at 11 pm at night.  After work I do a 45 minute run πŸƒ‍♂️ doing 5 km we started at 10:12. It was 5 Celsius outside and I felt warm running πŸƒ‍♂️  I’m sweat πŸ˜“ a lot less than I did when I started I’d be in a full soaked sweat πŸ˜… the last six months I’ve improved 450 plus percent  That’s a good feeling, I’m happy πŸ˜ƒ to say.  Making a difference in my life and how I feel. Journaling, exercising, reading… Hey guys, Uh πŸ™„ I was wondering if any of you had remedies for reducing  Eh um  πŸ˜ cough… The feelings of existential dread and facing and bearing the weight of the crashing realities of life. Do you think turmeric will help?!?! I ask myself is exercise really like meditation where you get brain clarity and pay more attention to books or life. All of a sudden a gym membership looks doable this morning  a February post I go to say. Both is doable.  Life and books You don’t need a gym mem...
