We now have campfire coffee each morning outside ..... waiting,,, waiting,,,, for what might come into view. Three mornings ago we watched a wolf cross the lake on the ice, saw the first big bumblebee, the first hummingbird and first robin. Last night we saw the first ducks.....just got a glimpse. We've seen black bears and a nice Boar Grizzly up on Bear Mountain (This is 12 days earlier than other years) My tomatoes , pansies and broccoli plants are coming up. Spring is coming. We now have close to 15 hrs of daylight
If there is no presence on our land there are some people who think it is up for grabs (like our Northwest Passage). We trap in a remote area of Northern B.C., CANADA, 100 km from the nearest road. We fly in by Beaver Bush Plane and stay here for long periods of time. We are caretakers of the land and this is how we live.

ReplyDeleteHi guys these mornings make it all worthwhile. And all your local wildlife checking things out they are tasting spring is on its way too. Now you can watch all your veggies and flowers grow, enjoy spring at king salmon lake :)Brian(:
ReplyDeleteHi Bryan and Vikki,
ReplyDeleteFound your blog for the first time this morning (from Jozien's). Love it. I'm a Yukoner (living in Oz) so your lifestyle is familiar to me. What amazed me most was that you both spell your names the same as my hubby and his sister - amazing!
