May!

Hooray! I said I’d share the first green blades of grass when they appeared, so here we go, from earlier this week:

Green! Just…

Ok, so we had to look hard, but it was there! Since then, with a morning of sunshine and a few more heavy showers, it has been greening up nicely. Spring! Boing! May! Phew!

Finding and fixing a puncture – the bike would be enormous!

Now our thoughts can turn to camping, so much so, I finally repaired a puncture in the inflatable tent yesterday, and next week we’ll be uncovering the trailer and seeing if any small critters need rehousing before giving it all a general spring airing. A riverside site in mid May is booked and beckons… Yup, it’s May! Hooray!

Sunny on the plains

Short this week, rather like the stretch of sunny spring days so far… Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I am a would be outdoorsman - that is if I had more time, skills and knowledge. When I can, I love being outdoors, just camping, hiking, snowboarding, xc skiing, snowshoeing, paddling a canoe or trying something new. What I lack in ability, I make up for in enthusiasm and having a go. I'd never really survive for long out there in the wild, but I enjoy pretending I could if I had to...

  1. Hooray for green grass and camping PC. I can so relate. Am currently writing this, camped by the river under blue skies and green grass. Enjoy your weekend Adam and all the upcoming joys of spring!

  3. Yahoo! May does something to me with the arrival of green, blossoms and birds. I love that you are getting ready for camping. I am booked for Jasper in just over 2 weeks for a three night stay. I am going for a walk now to see what is up and about locally. that is Abraham Plains, is it?

    1. Thank goodness there are some signs of spring, and it is warming up even if not too sunny as yet here.
      Yes, the Plains of Abraham – we live up in the little foothills north of the river, so the plains down below are slightly greener and warmer this time of year!
