Our Location:
Home, Tehkummah, Ontario
We left Valens Conservation Area in Flamborough, Ontario after dumping the tanks, disposing of our garbage and depositing the swipe card in the bucket, the time read 8:23 AM, Thursday morning.

The Swing Bridge that takes us from mainland to island. |

The first town as you cross over the bridge. |
A few rain drops, a few sunny moments and various shades of blue in the sky had us hoping everything would stay on forecast, no rain until overnight. We did well, we stopped 3 times in our 8 hour drive. We were up the big hill, turned around, parked and level by 4:30 pm. Not bad!

Some snow still around on the ground. |

Spring flowers too. |
A couple of drop ins at Dad’s but he was sleeping, he is currently battling with shingles and at 87, it is a big job. He is pretty much over the rash/blisters but the pain is still intense. I am shortly heading out the door, 6:10 AM for coffee, so will be better able to judge for myself.

It is good to be home, still some snow in places, the most I can remember in our years of camping here, although we are about a week earlier than usual. Red Gads are definitely hinting at spring, a very green tinge to the grass, even a little green in the chives and onions. On a morning walk I found a teeny, tiny morel. A definite sign of spring.

Of course the winter cut… |

Still waiting for splitting and piling. |
Over the next number of days we will settle in but Monday will find us off to the voting station, the mail box and the Township Office, so I see very little outside or cabin work that day. We also need to purchase a few things to get the gardens ready. The joys of returning and setting up.
Thanks for stopping by.
Until next time….
Take care, stay safe,
Deb
Welcome Home! Hope your dad recovers completely. Fran's mother went thru shingles, I know there can be a lot of pain and itching.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeff.

ReplyDeleteHoping your dad fully recovers from the shingles. Kathy's had them twice and is allergic to the vaccine.
Stay Safe and Enjoy your gardening.
It's about time.
Thanks. We are happy to be tucked in here! Although if southern Ontario could send some heat this way, it would be appreciated.

I bet it feels good to be back home. We had an earlier than usual spring here as well, which means the ticks are out early as well!
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it home and I sure hope the snow goes away soon! At least you have pretty spring flowers to look at.
ReplyDeleteGood you and Riley made it home and you can see your family. Sorry your Dad has shingles hope he gets better soon. The spring flowers are beautiful and bright. Appreciate the pictures.
