Some before/after pics When Darlin’ says i need rocks I just say how many Then we go scouting bcuz she can’t trust my judgement When she finds the “right” ones then the gofer (that’s me) takes tractor & bring them to the queen These 2 beauties were lined up together in the bush

2 rabbits & a pair of doves on the lawn at daybreak & at the other end of the property an older fawn was out grazing & shortly after it left a young black bear came out Hopefully the bear went hungry!

Darlin’ got these pics last week of our 1st Painted Turtle of the season She was obviously looking for a place to lay her eggs

One thing about fishing/hunting in the north is you always see something cool Mr Beaver continually swam by us while we were trolling & finally “slapped” a warning Then we watched this Bald Eagle 🦅 guarding her nest & we saw some great sunrises & sunsets And we even caught fish!

Had some blowdown’s in the last big wind. All blocked but the splitting etc is going to have to wait Some Walleye fishing 🎣 in Quebec is calling me

[Larry Miller Retired @LarryMillerMP]

Last 2 pails of leeks & done for this year Almost 5 hours to clean, slice/dice & in freezer bags They are going to get ground in with elk & venison sausage this fall with lots left for Darlin’s leek soup Also kept enough for dinner tonight & of course we pickled 15 jars earlier

[Larry Miller Retired @LarryMillerMP]

The Orioles & the Hummingbirds are in a feeding frenzy Orioles are a nervous bird but we changed the location of the feeder & they have been coming longer than any other year It takes the oranges 🍊 to attract them but the grape jelly is what they really like

[Larry Miller Retired @LarryMillerMP]

Last 2 pails of leeks for this year Easy to dig after 2 days of rain Have them soaking in water Now the real work starts

[Larry Miller Retired @LarryMillerMP]

Briar & I were out looking for morels yesterday Didn’t find any morels but found a coyote den & not too far away found this leg but the odd thing is there’s no livestock for almost a half mile away Then I found this ball as well Do coyote pups play ball?

[Larry Miller Retired @LarryMillerMP]

Main hydro from Owen Sound serving Bruce Peninsula is out But Darlin got me to dig out her lanterns & candles & they working just fine We’re so dependent on hydro it’s pretty easy to take it 4 granted Neighbour had tree snap near house & 4 of us pulled it away for him Happy man

@Fischerlind Now I’m envious Jim Nice haul!

[Larry Miller Retired @LarryMillerMP]

2 of my favourite birds Indigo Bunting & Orioles They’re great to see but never seem to stay around long

[Larry Miller Retired @LarryMillerMP]

@KenSchaus @shaunhaney Yes I saw it here as well How do you spell BOYCOTT!

[Larry Miller Retired @LarryMillerMP]

That’s a wrap for pickled leeks Just need a half dozen freezer bags full to add with venison & hopefully some elk sausage this fall An elk hunt has always been on my bucket list & god willing I’m heading to Saskatchewan in Oct to get er’ done

[Larry Miller Retired @LarryMillerMP]

@WhitsonGary Tell your wife thank you Always wondered what they were

[Larry Miller Retired @LarryMillerMP]

The Fiddlehead Ferns are almost ready to pick, Jack-In-The-Pulpits are growing fast & these yellow flowers are growing rampant They look similar to a lily but really not sure what they are Spring always means you find something new in the bush almost daily

[Larry Miller Retired @LarryMillerMP]

Dug another big pail of leeks yesterday Kept a few small tender ones to fry up with a moose roast & this big bowl of bulbs will get pickled this morning

[Larry Miller Retired @LarryMillerMP]

Finally finished this spring’s firewood Have to admit there’s something about a nicely piled row of firewood Close to enough for 2 winters cut, split, piled & drying There’s also 23 of these crates full As my late dad would say: “enough hay down boys”

[Larry Miller Retired @LarryMillerMP]

[Larry Miller Retired @LarryMillerMP]
