I’ve had these moose antlers for a few years & always had the intention of having them made into a coffee table An old buddy who is “very handy” has agreed to do it The 1st step was to clean them up with the power washer Done today and they certainly look different Stay tuned!

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!

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

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?

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

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

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”
