I don't actually eat a lot of fish ... but I could ...

I would if the wife didn't hate the smell so bad and she's the one saying it's poisoned to boot - Oh well not the hill I want to die on. I'll toss another steak or chop on BBQ!

GM Update:

HAPPY BEES-TER!

I got a call just before we sat down to Easter Dinner from the guy I was purchasing my bees from, and he said he would be in town and could deliver my nucs if I wanted “in about 20 minutes”. So in between appetizers and baked ham I took delivery.

I just finished installing them about 20 minutes ago:

Another project in-process in a positive direction!

Happy Easter to all. Nice sunny day.

Good service this morning, and as a bonus, everything with streaming worked well.
Had to stop for turkeys to cross road on way home.
Waiting for lunch to finish cooking. Wife cooked pork roast yesterday, waiting on baked corn.

Didn’t get my wood putty done yesterday, maybe today.
My brother did fix the roof at dad’s yesterday. I ordered new water valves for his washing machine, they are leaking bad. My sister washed a bunch of his clothes.
He has a split maple that needs to come down. That tree was there in the 40s when dad bought the farm.

My brother said it could hit the house. Don’t know if I can cut some limbs off with my pole saw, might go this week and see.

Bet the old tree could tell some stories give wisdom.

Wagtail, "
Mate, after all these years you have to know that we Aussies shorten words then (usually) add 'ie', 'y' or an 'o' on the end."

What do you call your new King?

"Your Majesty" at first and "Sir" after that.

Nah, I know what you're on about... 'Chuck' or 'Charlie' is the humorous way. Just like it was 'Betty & Phil'.

Good (Easter Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 4C and it's presently 16C, partly cloudy with a stiff breeze. Yeah, we're definitely into Autumn but I've yet to light an overnight fire in the heater.

Just doing some dhobi and general puttering around the house. I've got a Church council meeting later on at 1600.

That's about it, take care all.

Easter dinner was fantastic! Then dessert was astronomical!
Son and 3 GS's enjoyed it too! The two youngest GS's (7 & 9) know how to butter up grandma for sure---- "you make the best pies in the whole world grandma!"

Those two did help us get some bulbs planted. They mixed in the compost with the regular soil in the blocks. Of course they wanted to plant some bulbs, so grandma showed them how and they did a few. Then they wanted to "water" the bulbs..... more like play with the hose and make a mess.... nope don't need mud everywhere. One has to draw a line in the dirt, right?

Got about half of the blocks fully done, the second half is half done, with just the yellow ones done (Every other block hole). We'll finish up the orange bulbs tomorrow. Then the remaining bulbs will need to go into small containers for future planting.

Hopefully no more super cold frosts.... the apple and peach trees popped. I am concerned because our aspen trees are still in bud stage..... do the mountain aspen trees know something we don't?

The only flowers about ready to bloom are the grape hyacinths. They are sending up the flower stalks, but they won't bloom for another week to 2 weeks.

RS, can you ship me some of your energy? I could really use some..... The saw is coming along nicely.

Kilroy, are you using the bees for pollination or are you specifically going after honey?

Everyone have a great evening!
