Quick Trip to My Woodlot

 I took a drive out to My Woodlot yesterday. Hadn't been there in over a month.

I mostly wanted to make sure everything was ok out there, you never know, eh ;-)

And also, mom and my daughter came with, so it was nice to show them

what I had done so far.

I brought some water for the new plants, just in case, but to my delight, they were doing awesome with no help from anyone. I was a little worried since they're not settled in yet, and it hadn't rained for a few weeks. But they looked good, so I guess that means

they like their new home.

Then I saw this little guy. Looks like somebody just had a snack.

I'll be sure to get more pictures soon :-)

Peek~a~Moose

Busy busy week getting a bunch of loose ends tied up. Went up river to my daughter's apartment, like three times. Came back to home base to work on a carving I'm doing for a friend. Went down river to my woodlot and got a few more plants settled in. I suppose I should let y'all know I'm going on another road trip real soon. I am very much looking forward to it. Come to think of it, I never did share those pics of my last one back in April, like I said I would... Bad MissK, Bad!

I wish :P

Mine are below... 

They look kinda sad. But hey,

you gotta start somewhere, eh ;-)

      These are suppose to be pretty hardy. The one on the left is called Winnipeg Parks, zone 2b. The second one is zone3, I forget the name. I debated getting them because I've never had much luck with roses in the past, except for wild roses that spread fairly easily. I just couldn't resist starting my flower garden with them. The layout of the lot lends itself perfectly to so many different garden concepts. I've got high sunnier spots, and low, nestled private pockets. I can see you, but you can't see me kinda thing. One thing's for sure, I'm gonna enjoy planning this layout over time ;-)

I Love Puzzles...

The "picture" is becoming clearer ;-)

I've been doing research this past week.

Lots and lots of thinking, sketching and calculating.

I'm working to figure out how best to utilize my little woodlot,

in a timely manner, to shape the life I want.

What I know for sure:

My resources are limited at the moment.

I wanna use my skills to earn income, on my terms.

Practical, useful and realistic is way more appealing then bling.

Day by day, things are taking shape :-)

~ I will share more on the topic, as things progress ~

Little update in the comments ;-)

Totally in Love with This Senario

Side Note: I have a few Road Trip Highlights I would like to share.

A little glimpse to where I've been ;-)

The thing is, I took some pictures with my phone, and some with an old camera I had, but I gotta fiddle with it to get the pics off.  So I'm gonna work on that later, cuz right now, I'm in the mood to drive out to My Woodlot and explore. Almost all the snow is gone, and I'm very curious on how things look out there... Be back soon :-)

My Own Little Paradise

I recently got my hands on an awesome little woodlot.

I took this first pic a few weeks ago. The snow was still way too deep to venture in,

so I snapped a shot off the neighbor's land.

Last Friday I decided to strap on my snowshoes...
