Ice Time

The dog walker has returned from her walk.  Some of my friends might recognize her dog walking costume - my fishing pants from the 23rd Annual Invitational Bass Classic, June '98, and my Tromper fleece sweater from the Sept. '97 hike, Big Head Bivouac.

 

The sacrifices I make! 😇

What a day for the rink!  Sunny, -4C, with still air.  Perfect.

And our intrepid pair, Sven and Sandro, were there to show off their multi-sport skills.  Today it was hockey.

And they're using wooden sticks that date from the original six era!  What nostalgia!  And you thought my clothes were old!

At the back of the picture you can see David flying his drone overhead (it's above the scene).

In the picture below you can see David's drone, between Sandro's head and the far boards, filming the whole spectacle.

Meanwhile, back at the greenhouse, another batch of Boston Fern baskets has been hung, to make room for more baskets to come.

And Sean is watering some fern plug trays that just arrived as well.

The geranium baskets are progressing....

....as are the Easter Lillies.

And the Million Bells are getting close to planting time too.

The greenhouse circle of life continues.

One bit of excitement in the condo tonight.  A burning wire smell brought the Shipton's man out.  Turns out that when the wiring was redone the other day a nut must have fallen off against one of the wires and it was heading for failure.

But we're back in business again.  All's well.

Stay well.  Enjoy the polar vortex.
