Coronavirus Diaries: We Are Back In Business!
It warmed up a bit and the sap started flowing again. The next few days will be slow as the weather seems to be colder again. It may just take a little longer to fill these buckets up. https://youtu.be/7gGOTwPi-tk Today, the good tree filled up half a bucket, the second best a third of a … Continue reading Coronavirus Diaries: We Are Back In Business!

Coronavirus Diaries — Procreate
Okay, it’s not what you think... despite the new lockdown and stay-at-home orders for Ontario, which may result in a baby boom. I am talking about Procreate, the drawing program for iPad.

The Coronavirus Diaries – So we built a Store
Since we are now unretired, we thought we might as well do something useful so we built a store. We stayed in Port Elgin for a month and gave the hostages a good, long break from us.

Was it a young buck looking for … Continue reading The Coronavirus Diaries: What happened to the Deer?

We managed to pass the storm system and found our second boondocking spot near Elliot Lake. Initially, we tried to go to Fort La Cloche. The road to that park went … Continue reading Elliot Lake

It was time to take the hostages for another outing and we all agreed that canoeing may be fun. We decided to go to Canal Lake, a small lake in the Kawartha Lakes area.

The Coronavirus Diaries – It’s Been a While
It's been a while since we had a Coronavirus update from the farm. We were able to go on a few trips in Ontario and life in general feels almost normal—as long as we wear a mask, stay away from people, and stay on this side of the border, both provincial and international. We have … Continue reading The Coronavirus Diaries – It’s Been a While
