121.5 hrs - God's Day, right? Well my God did not give me the day off.

Instead, he called for a day of hard labour. But first, I prepared his supper and informed him, if he wasn't careful, it might be his last. A sweet stew filled with beef, lamb, parsnips, onions, carrots, rutabaga, PEI potatoes, cabbage and celery! A feast fit for God.
Then off to work we went. Actually, it wasn't all that bad. We finished plotting out the vegetable garden ensuring that all ends were square. Once that was done then we marked out where the fence posts will go and the path that will run perpendicular through the garden. The idea is that the bed will be split into four quadrants. The back quadrants will have a small section of fence running behind them where, you might recall, we will plant Rookie's blackberry bushes and some raspberry bushes as well. God will have three quadrants for vegetables and the remainder is mine.

Once that was done, he gave me the rest of the day off.....sort of. He started digging holes for the fence posts

and I scrubbed down the whole deck, prepping it for painting. Unfortunately we are expecting rain the next couple of days, so I won't be able to start until the deck is dry. See that porch way back there....that's what I cleaned.




T....I tried taking some wonderful pics for you today but the wildlife was not cooperating. We tried taking some pictures of the herons and every time we would approach they would fly off so we headed the other direction and found a fox in the middle of the road but before I could take the picture he ran off into the forest. A bit further down the road we found a fox and a raccoon having a standoff in a field, but before the SILVER FOX could turn the car around, the raccoon had hightailed off into the bush. Another day. Promise.
