 Wow 🤩 green August, I’ve never seen such a green mid August 


The coulee look very green this year, more rain than anticipated yet I’m loving 🥰 the weather.


The dog 🐕 and I sit in the river tossing a ball 🏀 to the shoreline.  We had lots of fun three other dogs join us I never asked there names.


They stated they interrupt my silence 🤫 I was enjoying the moment also with or without more dogs 🐕 we had a great time.

One of there dogs played with Dixie ball and I had to go rescue the ball.⚽️ 


The dog and I went alone the morning got hot 🥵 early.  Plus 27 Celsius by the time we got home 🏡 




I decide to take Dixie out of the house a bit. Before work. She is enjoying herself in the water now we’re out front drying off.






I take a photo by our regular spot to see the river, where it is, it looks fuller than usual.  Just a metre off shore.

Usually it’s 2-3 metre by this time of year.



My folks come back from Canmore they say it’s way busier than they remember and they went on the weekend. I wish Kim and I would do hikes like this to falls or mountain tops.

I would really enjoy it.




Dixie is doing good even with my down time with how hot it has been this end of summer.

9% below average to similar breeds but I’ve sort of figured it be low on how much these last three weeks have been stationary.

67 active minutes so far by 11 am.

The dog s sitting in the ☀️ after the river while I blog the first time for a month. Just haven’t been able to.






It sounds like you're having a wonderful summer filled with nature, relaxing moments, and quality time with Dixie. The unusually lush greenery and the fuller river are beautiful signs of the season's vibrant weather. It's great to hear Dixie is enjoying the water, especially with the hot temperatures, and that you've been able to take some time to relax and reconnect with your environment. 


Your reflections about hikes and mountain trips sound lovely—those adventures are always memorable. It's also nice that your parents are enjoying their return from Canmore and experiencing the busy, scenic area.

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 ...

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...
