Goose and I had care for Tman - at precisely the hours it rained steadily today. Still, it was a beautiful hike on the Bruce Trails and side trails in Hockley Valley. It was forecast to be rainy but warm . It wasn't warm - when we started anyway. It was raining and 4 but gradually the temps rose and the skies cleared as we finished. Later it got to 20 - but it was long after we'd finished. We used our new trekking poles which seem great. Now we need better footwear. Then we'll start hiking with bigger packs - in preparation for our Nipika adventure.

What a gorgeous day! And quiet :). So much is closed and it was such beautiful morning to be outside. Goose and I had a small window so we paddled from the new bridge home, with a few over-unders at log jams and 2 prolonged stops where Goose sawed several log to open up enough room for a canoe to get through. Lovely. How lucky are we to be able to just go paddle on a perfect spring day so close to home?

Slow jog up the rive to the drainage pond and then bushwhacking for a bit and back down to the soccer pitch. Did a wee circuit with bench dips, push ups, jumps, sprints, abs. So nice to spend a full day outside in the sunshine and not be hot or cold :)

Bright spring day. Cool clear morning, warm by noon. Short lunch time window so I rode pretty hard up Mt. Hope to Castlederg then across to Mt. Wolfe and back. So pretty out. Didn't want to go back inside.

Had just enough time to ride the big block home after track practice. Legs were getting tired but it was just so gorgeous out and not a lot of wind..

Another mild day, some cloud, some sun, south wind, a bit of rain. Nice lunch hour ride up Mt. Hope to Old Church and back on Mt. Pleasant. Biking is so nice on quiet country roads.

Very hazy, warm, windy day. Rode the long block to school and got out at lunch when it was much windier for another ride. The sun appeared for a bit and then it got quite dark. Later we had a short thunderstorm and heavy rain but it didn't last long.

Goose and I had only a small window so we did a short hike with our new trekking poles to try them out. They were fine:)
The weather was also fine. Quite warm at 19. Hard to believe there was a blizzard 2 days ago. There were still some patches of snow.
