Another Day of Leaden Sky

Even though the temperature was above freezing, there was a strong bitter wind out there, so I bundled up like the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man and headed out into the wilderness.

My dough is 1/4 into its first rise as I head out.

The Wilderness

Because of the recent Easter Egg hunts I've had to go on, it's time to keep the pullets in the run for the morning until they lay their eggs. They need to learn where to lay. Sorry guys...I would love to let you out but your getting way too out of control with the hidden eggs stashes outside getting frozen and rained on...

Maybe my chickens are even smarter than I thought, and I did give them a lot of credit before, but maybe, just maybe...they know when I find an outdoor hidden egg stash, I end up scrambling them up for them because I don't want to give those eggs to people. So they're actually scoring one of their favourite treats. Now that I think of it, it seems like something Fluffy and her Egg Gang would plot...

I saw a lot of these little ducks today. They were expert divers by the looks of it.

I was standing on a little bridge looking into the water at the flowing movement of the seaweed.

I can see a beautiful sandy beach across the way.

Almost back home by now and passed a bunch of water fowl chilling in the low tide.

Sort:  

Another lovely walk, it's the first thing I look for when I get to the office babe. It's 07:38 here now and already I feel chilled out after your walk! 😉
Vicarious exercise, I like that. I should make a fitness video with you on the front posing like this.......

Relative of yours?! 😂😂😂
Love ya Lyndsay 😉

AHHAA!!!! Yesssss!!!!! That was me last winter because I wasn't walking hahaha!! My winter coat fit me like a micro mini <3 <3

😂😂😂 hilarious babe.

So beautiful ... so peaceful on your walk
Chickens are smarter than we think. I agree :)
It's nice to see how Nature does her wonder on your dough when you go out for a walk. She does it to plants, too! I am still amazed every single day when I see my plants!

Just curious, do you ever get a sunny day in the winter? Just checking ;-)

HHAHAA!! I will let you know when we get a sunny day, it'll be a BIG post hahahaa!!

I am all EYES ;-)

Super enjoyed this, I love the little mental game of chess you're currently locked in with the chickens lol!

Hoping they get into a regular placement schedule for your time's sake though!

HAHA Yep...and time for me to scramble them up some eggs now...

mmm!!! I'll be right over! 😋

Haha!! I don't think you'd want these ones, they are from the egg stash I found out in the woods the other day :)

I'd gladly make you your own though, from where the good hens lay their eggs :)

Haha I'm not picky at all, I'm sure anything you guys have going is better than what's at the grocery store! Although I do have a deep appreciation for a deep orange round yolk- nothing like farm fresh !

Good fishing out that way?

There is amazing fishing to be had, but we don't have any kind of boat yet. In the summer when the mackerel are running and it's high tide we do get a few jumping in our back yard, but I don't think my husband's ever landed one from our side. If we go to our neighbour's dock it's better. Still, there's more chance of us catching a crab than a fish where we are haha!! How bout you rambozo, do you fish a lot?

Not as much as I'd like to. I don't get much time for anything these days. I do have a mate I go fishing with now and then but I usually dirt fish (metal detect) while he fish fishes. We get a lot of snapper this time of year and there is always a good feed of squid to be caught. I'm getting the itch for it now!

Ooooh what's the best thing you've ever caught dirt fishing?

My favourite would probably be an army hat badge from the 1930s. I find more bottle caps than anything!

I like that white jacket of yours. I also like the progression of the rise of the dough.

Thanks David, what's new and exciting with you?

I was at my mom's friends house and I brought up the discussion on Bitcoin. I just did a blog about it. I am still studying it and haven't got my account at Coinbase yet. I'll do that soon. I did get a sub account of my saving account to buy Bitcoin. I think I have get another email address for security. I told another one of my friends about Bitcoin and that we should try to buy a small amount before Christmas. Well, let see how that goes.

Also I just recently learned how to sell my SBD for Steem then to Power Up. I was trying to follow all these other blogs but always got confused then I read another blog that showed me how to use Currency Market. Finally it makes sense on how to do it. So I got to sell some at the higher price than as today.

That's amazing, I'm proud of your progress!

That is dedication. Congratulations. You really have come a long way from the days of needed McDonalds coupons.

Wow it is cold out there. Of course, you sent that Canadian down to us. The wind is coming out of the north. I even had to turn the heat on. It is getting into the 40 at nights.

This is simply inhumane. I am not a polar bear.

Hhahaaa, suck it up polar bear buttercup, and heyyyyyyy now stop saying the M word I've boycotted those cunts for the better part of a decade now lmao!! Now you see why your threat scared me so much, I think I would actually go into convulsions if I ate that shit at this point.

Grease: it does a body good.

That should be their motto.

@lyndsaybowes you are right you do look like the Michelin man or the stay puft marshmallow man. Another great walkwithme. Fantastic photos as usual. I love the seaweed you can just barely catch a glimpse of it just below the surface of the water. Very cool.

Thanks for appreciating the seaweed photo, it was so relaxing to watch...

I can just imagine it was. How did the buns turn out? I hope they got great.

Ooh yes the perfect thing for the boys when they got home from school :) (And me!) We've already dusted off over half of them lol!!

Kick ass walk LB! Of course you have to tantalize us all with your buns :)

One day we'll have you and your fam up here for a nice dinner :)

That would be awesome! I might stay and never go back

Hehe you look nice and warm for your walk! 😊

Thanks, I do love that jacket, the wind doesn't get in it at all.

You're so lucky to live in such a beautiful area.

Yep, we suffer in some ways, but that's the chance we took by getting out of Edmonton, or any big city for that matter, we don't have as much money, yet we have so much more Peace...because of being In Nature. <3 <3

Very true. We have the same goal to out of the city, out of Alberta move to the east coast. We are slowly getting out house fixed up in order to sell it. We want to buy land and farm it. We were originally planning to move to Newfoundland but we won't be able to make it out there. So we decided to move to Nova Scotia. Britt has family there as well and it makes more sense for what we want to do.

Ooooh my goodness, I have total goosebumps!!!!! This is so cool!!!!!!!! We're gonna be neighbours!!!!!!!!!!!! xoxooxox I'm super excited, what area of NS are you guys looking at?

Not sure, where yet but her family lives in Liverpool so somewhere around that area maybe. Depends on what's available for farmable land.

Love the plug for Eos at the end haha...

You're so consistent with these and this whole series is on fire! 🔥

Ineteresting question, how long do these posts take (including every step)? You def. put some serious time and effort in! 😄

YAY I knew my buddy @overkillcoin would notice the last picture lmao, I put it there for you my Angel!! xoxoxoxoxo This post took about 1.5 hours to create. Sometimes when there's more pictures it takes around 2. This is not including the walk. I usually walk and snap pics for around 1 -2 hours.

Ah yes, that winter palette of colours is with you now, as it is around here... I have always found those muted colours very pretty; peaceful. Thanks for sharing your walk with us!

Thank you for coming by @denmarkguy :) It's good to see you!

Wow! So pretty!!! And I agree with @doctorcrypto, you've got some wallpaper or calendar worthy pics there! Great shots! Thanks for the mention by the way! 💚

You're very welcome for the mention, I hope to go for some more walks with you in the future :)

You have some serious wallpaper quality photos in there. I like the shot of the plant just above the water.
I always like walking with you. :)

Thank you for the compliment Dr. Crypto :) xo

I love those little black and white ducks, they're so cool.

I saw again those super cuties in their pen. And the way they are crowded around close to the door, you can tell they are itching to get out.
You have a scenic environment, devoid of excessive pollution. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much for coming by Edith. <3 <3 <3 We are so very blessed!

nice. our chickens have egg stashes ALL OVER our forest lol... once we found one with around 30 eggs in it... silly birds have a great coop with nice nesting boxes but prefer the woods go figure...
