Finally managed to weed eat and cut the lawn today and got the last of the gravel moved so that we can get a bobcat in here to level the yard!! Yaaayy!!

Also did some cleaning out on the pond. Turns out the moss is great… until it REALLY latches in and makes space for grass. There was so much into the stream that it was backing up into the top pond, causing it to overflow, and the whole system lose water!

When I pulled up the moss, it pulled much of the gravel with it! So lesson learned. Very light on the moss, no more gravel in the stream, keep things neat and tidy!

In all though, the pond cleared up fast thanks to the barrel filters and all is good!

It is hard to overstate how special these planes were to this town of any in the world. We miss them like family. ❤️

An Earth Day message from me because why not. And because we have to keep fighting for our planet and everything we treasure.

Great news for travellers to the Island, #PortAlberni, #Tofino #Ucluelet, and the West Coast!

#Tseshaht  #Hupacasath  and #Huuayaht  are partnering to build the first new hotel built in Port Alberni since the Best Western Barclay in 1980!

It'll be a Wyndham microtel similar to the one just north of Ladysmith with a small pool and waterslide. It will be located next to #BCHwy4 at Walmart.
