I had set out this syrup season with one goal in mind; I must double last years supply and become self sufficient in maple syrup!.<br />
Little did I know what I would find along the way...<br />

Trudging back to the house to get more syrup supplies, then off I go! back to the woods for more tapping, when all of a sudden I came across this little guy, a star nosed mole, barely moving and just laying on top of the snow. I took these shots with my phone at the time I found him, and good thing at that as when I came back from getting my good camera, the barn cat had called it lunch. <br />

It has an almost alien like mouth/nose and never in my life have I seen anything like it. The hands on it are also something to give pause. Im still not sure what happened to it, why it was just laying there with no trauma or wound to it. But I am very thankful for being able to see it and get a picture. <br />

We started last year with our first batch of Indian Runners and we couldn't be happier!. They came from a breeder with a flock of top notch genetics and from the looks of their adult shape they seem to have the right character features, at least to me that is. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Due to the time of the year we kept them inside till the weather warmed up and they got a little bigger. We have all sorts of birds of pray so better safe than sorry I thought, it was certainly something to listen to the chirping indoors for that few weeks tho. <br />

Now they are all grown up and forage around our 100 acre farm. They are essential to farming in my mind, especially to a strawberry farmer. With all the bugs that can ruin a strawberry patch it only makes sense to have a patrol of ducks that love to eat those very pests!. At the end of the year we cut as much grass as possible and send them out over the next few weeks into the strawberry/raspberry patch and let them go to town on the bug population. Our plan is to up the flock to about 200 as well as bring in the black Indian runners and start a little breeding program. Here goes!<br />

After a long and arduous time away, we're back!! and this time for good.
We are bigger, better and more efficient than ever! It took a while
but we have finally gotten our vertical hydroponic strawberry system up,
and while there have been a few hiccups it is certainly a force to be
reckoned with. <br />

To the right you can see the start of our insect hotel. This will build
up the native bees and other pollinators/predator insects, as, the European honey bees future in Ontario (and Canada as a whole) is grim if we do not get rid of these toxic substances farmers keep spraying or buying. <br />

While it has been fun getting the strawberry system set up, I am longing
for the days I can bring in a shipment of citrus trees again. There is
nothing like waking up in the morning to the smell of citrus blossoms or
picking your own fresh lime right off the tree. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I shall keep this blog rolling, the berries flowing and the citrus growing, so look out for more posts on all sorts of farming ideas/projects and Ontario, Canada goodness!.<br />

All the best!<br />

I decided to head on out into the bush and see if I could find the magic elixir known as 'chaga'.<br />
At first all the birch I checked was void of this magic fungi and I was wondering if, for some reason, this area just didn't have the spores. I found that somewhat hard to believe, so I kept on my search and eventually came across a tree that had fallen over and saw what I was looking for.<br />

Since it was a rotting tree and upon inspection, the chaga did not look good enough to make anything I wanted to drink. Once I cracked it open I could see little larvae entranced in their winter sleep. I decided this was not the pickings I was going to take back and make into tea. At least this gave me the perseverance to keep on my hunt, knowing now, there must be more of it out there, as, fungi spread quite easily. After trudging deeper into the backwoods I eventually came across another tree with Chaga on it. <br />

The one thing I noticed which I found strange, all the Chaga I found was only on the north side of the property, all the trees on the south end were devoid of this mushroom. I searched high and low on the one side and nothing, but as soon as I went over to the other end of the property, there it was. Many of the pieces I could not reach, as, they were 15 ft up the tree; I saw one piece that must have been 5 or 10 pounds bulging out of the tree. I will come back for these with a ladder. For some dumb reason I realized when I got back to the house, that, all the pictures I took were of the hoof fungus, not one of the Chaga, WHAT WAS I THINKING!<br />
I will go back and take pictures of the big mound of Chaga once all the snow clears.<br />

This was the days harvest, not all will go for tea, and I made sure to leave the trees with what I believed to be a sufficient amount of Chaga spores so as to be able to reproduce. The parts I do not use will go to the stove, as, from what I understand, Chaga shavings and hoof fungus is a great fire starter. <br />

The process is really quite simple, scrape off the hardened black exterior until you reach the soft orange-ish inner core. Then, take out your grater and grate away. You will want to leave it out to dry, preferably in the sun for a few days, so as not to let it mold. <br />

Since were in full swing of spring, the sap is flowing. The temperature had dropped the previous few weeks/days and I had neglected checking the buckets for sap, but now that we've had this turnaround into good spring weather, things are flowing into prime syrup season. We have already made a batch of syrup a few weeks back, but this was of the sap (that I'm told) is more so the anti-freeze of the tree, while it does have sugar, it produces something that just doesn't compare to the next flow of mapley goodness. <br />

Later on it was time to walk the dog, so I brought my camera along to see if I could get some decent shots of the stream and marsh by my place. I decided to take a little macro of everybody's favourite nuisance plant - burdock. I remember the games played with these, it was always fun to whip these threw the air and watch it stick to someones shirt; then, you could see it in their eyes, the game was on!. <br />

The sumac was a plant I've known since a child, thankfully, we don't have the poison ones around here. I remember being very young in my girlfriends backyard sucking on these sour-ish buds. I dont know why we did it, no one told us it was safe, we just kinda ate them without concern. Ahh.. to be a child. lol. <br />

I love all the old barns in my area, I must make a project of capturing as many as I can at some point. Our personal barn ( and house ) goes back to the 1850's, and from what I understand, some of them might go back even further. <br />

We decided to take a trip to the O'Hara maple sugar festival and see what it was all about, and let me tell you, it can be described in one word, maplelicious... thats a word, right?<br />
In good'ol Madoc is where you can find this feast of all things maple. Hankering for some pancakes laced in syrup, you got'em. Drizzed maple syrup candy-pops made over snow, got'em. Maple butter, candies, and syrup for sale, you betcha!. It all starts off on a horse drawn ride through the maple forest, then, a trip back in time through an old pioneer house to show you the instruments used to collect sap. They also have old knickknacks for sale, everything from quilts to cast iron hooks.<br />

I just love these old pioneer houses, any log homes for that matter. These modern homes with steel beams and fake formaldehyde filled flooring just feels.... blah. <br />
Ive always wanted a fireplace like this, just right there, no safety, keeps ya on your toes I suppose, lol.<br />
The house was filled with treasures from yesteryear; wooden water buckets, snow shoes, old fashioned saws, candy presses, and all sorts of tools that were essential to life back then. To be honest, alot of the stuff they had there I would prefer to what we have today. Plastic this and plastic that, I see why they were healthier then my generation. <br />

I couldn't help but turn this photo in a vintage like feel. The wooden piece beside the wooden buckets was used to make candies, I think thats what the piece at the far left is too. There is a large screw beside the candy box that was used to drill the trees for sap and the wooden taps ( to the left of the screw ) were used to collect the sap from the trees, all of which dripped into wooden buckets. Wood, wood, wood, does a body good.<br />

I always thought maple butter was maple syrup and butter mixed, and since I gave up butter, I never tried it. Turns out, its just maple syrup made in a specific, scientific like way. Its almost like soft maple candies, but smoother, more spreadable. In fact, right now I am eating this on a piece of bread with a mug full of how water and maple syrup -Canadian to the bone. <br />

Meet Bella rose, our newly adopeted Corgi Chihuahua. We just so happened to be out at a cat store in Cambleford trying to find some toys for our abandoned kitten and sparked up a conversation with a fellow shopper. She mentioned how she was going for surgery and had to find a new home for her dog, so we offered to babysit while she was away, but she declined and said, "she just wants to find it a good home". WHAT PURE SERENDIPITOUS LUCK! Our previous dog had just passed away a week ago and we were pretty glum, as he had been apart of the family for a good 14-15 years.<br />

The energy in this dog is unlike any other we've ever owned. She can jump like a show dog and is even pretty good around the kitten; which we were truly nervous about at first. I cant wait to start teaching her some tricks! <br />

While she is friendly to us, she needs some work with strangers, as she can become very nervous around new people, especially around woman for some reason. She is fascinated with our ducks and rooster but hesitant of the goats. All in good time I suppose.

Well, how could anyone leave this poor little thing!?!<br />
<br />
While outside cleaning up around the coop I heard a cry from the barn, when I went to investigate I found this little one screaming at the top of her lungs. "oh lord" I told my self, as this was the second kitten this year we've found abandoned; thankfully this time we knew what to do. I decided to give it till nightfall and see if momma comes back for her little one; no such luck. I decided "ok!, its time for you to come inside", as the raccoons would be out looking for dinner soon. Thankfully, this little puffball looked to be a few weeks older then the last cat we took in. This one was able to walk pretty well and its eyes had matured slightly so it wasn't as blind'ish as the babies tend to be. <br />
We had a can of formula leftover from the previous kitten and as soon as that was placed in front of her she dove in like it was swimming practice. She still puts both feet in her food every time we feed her, then runs off spreading little milked up paw prints all over the house. <br />

In these videos I use an aluminum pipe with a neodymium magnet to demonstrate Lenz's law.<br />
<br />
If you'd like to pick up some neodymium magnets to try this neat experiment out for yourself, I have found a great link for inexpensive magnets with free shipping on amazon, which I will post below.<br />

What a Halloween experience!<br />
While haunted houses are a certain kind of fun, this festival gives you the opportunity to embrace Halloween in a much calmer relaxed fashion. An orange glimmer from the pumpkins creates an electroluminescent like feel, wrapping you in a warm glow of extremely creative and talented works of art. The drive to Upper Canada Village is quite easy, with signage spread along highway 401 and throughout the towns. A few things to remember on your trip.<br />
<br />
1. A flash light<br />
If you want to see the fish, which are monstrous! you will need a flash light or camera with good flash, I took both my Iphone and my Canon slr, the Iphone just couldn't get the job done.<br />
<br />
2. Make sure to clear your memory card on your camera. There is A LOT of neat displays here, 100 pics of free space is just to little if you ask me. <br />
<br />

Its seemed to be one of those events where it just kept going, which in this case made it all the more worth it/amazing. So often you pay for something and are left wanting more at the end. This was one of those great occasions where you kept asking yourself around every corner,<br />

I spent around 2 hours here, lol. Yes, a lot of that time was because of taking photos, but if I think about it, with no photos and just walking around, it would probably be a good hour+. <br />
Definitely worth the money in my opinion. </div>

Your waiter for the evening. In all seriousness tho, they do have some type of restaurant available ( only heard about it, never went in), along with a few hot chocolate/snack shacks and a main store selling everything from ground flour to witch brooms and old time memorabilia. I must say, the store is beautiful, nice and bright, full of machine's from yesteryear and lots of neat things.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What a night! </b></span></div>
<br />
So, after a million pictures later, I highly recommend a visit to this enchanting place. The Pumpkin inferno night is something to not pass up. From what I understand it gets bigger every year, and with something like 6000 pumpkins lit up this year, I can only imagine they'll be setting a record soon. <br />
Cant wait for next year!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I also have a mission to change over every pot and pan, including pizza pan, roaster and muffin tins to cast iron. I dont care about the weight and Im tired of finding out about all these crazy chemicals and heavy metals in the new stuff. I was using an oven roasting pan until I found out it leaches out aluminum. While there will be no noticeable effect now, Im sure if I continued on, at some point in my later years I could develop dementia or Alzheimer's, > accumulation< </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">so I err on the side of caution in this case. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I tell ya, one of the first things that caught my attention when looking for houses in the area was the Trent waterway. Not that when your looking for houses you say, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>its just gota have a river, no river, no deal!</i>. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">While driving to Toronto in the spring we would pass the Trent's locking system around Cambleford; this was the year Foxboro just about turned into Atlantis and the Trent waterway was a torrent of such epic proportions that even Odin would be impressed. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Things have calmed now, there is peace in the air, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">but its beauty and power continue on. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Here is where a lot of people seem to like fishing, makes sense, Ive watched a few River monsters shows now to understand, there always seems to be either big fish or something worth while around these fast flowing lock systems. Not just locks, but any little torrent like areas in the river. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I suppose its one of those things, once you've seen it done before, you know where to look. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks River Monsters! *chuckles </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">betwixt bountiful bold blue sky's and a cool crisp breeze; the air was filled with the fragrance of fall, nestled amongst celebrating trees erupting in contrasts of oranges, </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">red's,</span> and yellows. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I couldn't wait to take some pictures. Then, I saw the sign. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The one thing I can tell you is, I don't like paying to enter national parks, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I find it to be an outrageous form of governmental tyranny, but this is a whole other debacle I wont get into right now. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You will be charged $14 per car to get in. Do not plan on bringing your dog to the petroglyphs areas, they are not welcome, you cant even get close as its considered a sacred site and animals are barred from even entering near. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On top of that, you are PROHIBITED from taking photos of the actual petroglyphs, or, anywhere even close to the site. This REALLY threw me for a loop and it took me a while to calm down ( it was not advertised ANYWHERE online that you cant take photos.) as, I was really hoping on getting a photo, I don't have a great memory so it helps to have something, and I like to study things at later dates as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I understand its claimed to be sacred, but Ive visited many sacred sites and Ive never been told no photography, in any culture, especially when its as open to the public like this. Can you imagine them saying no photography at the sphinx? or the London castles? or the holy wall? or the Vatican? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know.... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe its the fact Ive seen contradictions here and what looks like a whole bunch of other people online with photos. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Soooooo..... how did they get them? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I know, I know, I have this problem with things being fair.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The other thing that baffles me is, if the site was sacred, why was it abandoned for thousands of years? How is it people would forget about a sacred site? Being that its the largest amount of petroglyphs in one area of Canada I cant imagine people would forget about it, right? So why did it take a Canadian miner from the 1950's to find it? It just sends my brain up the wall!. From the sounds of it, when you read the wording there and online, it sounds like they don't even know what tribe it really belongs to, yet, we have a certain tribe claiming it and placing laws and restrictions based on their beliefs? What if it was another tribe who would like the idea of photos? Obviously the original people who carved them wanted their stories to be seen and told/last forever, why else carve them in rock? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But honestly, what better way then to allow people to take a photo and put it online, allowing it to carry on forever; opening people up to embrace/ enjoy/ wonder at/ learn from/ imagine about/hold dear and one day, hopefully travel and see these amazing powerful carvings. Opening up knowledge to everyone, allowing study of the carvings from new angles and perspectives might give rise to the possibility of noticing something entirely new. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">IT HAS DONE AND ALWAYS WILL HAPPEN.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know, maybe its the inner lawyer in me, or the philosopher, or maybe I'm missing something? But in this day in age, not being able to take a photo of a rock carving messed with my brain. lol.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Like I mean, of all contradictions, It looked like they had security cams in the place, so security cams are fine but no personal cams? huh?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Am I wrong here? </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You know, maybe its just the fact that I don't like needless laws and I crave freedom. I just read about the U.S implementing a law were it is now illegal to take photos of any land belonging to the government. YES, ALL provincial parks/buildings/etc are now off limit unless you buy a $1000+ permit package. (<a href="http://www.fs.fed.us/news/releases/us-forest-service-chief-i-will-ensure-first-amendment-upheld-under-agency-commercial" target="_blank">http://www.fs.fed.us/news/releases/us-forest-service-chief-i-will-ensure-first-amendment-upheld-under-agency-commercial</a>)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">They say this law only applies to commercial use. (Ya, Right) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, we all should know governments by now. So, we all should be aware that these laws can and are usually manipulated by their enforcers. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">IT WILL NOT BE JUST NEWS/MEDIA like they want you to think.</span> Their terminology of "commercial use" is beyond vague. Allowing their enforcers to use a broad sweep trolling like law catching up ANYONE and EVERYONE, and just like police of todays age, if all you are is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Their use of , what I see as, theft and extortion, leeching monies in an attempt to further their own agendas is a clear sign of living in a flawed system. Coupled with their use of force, <b>attempting</b> to ensure compliance through violence is one of the hugest flaws in our democracy and is akin to the abusive stepfather using violence to get his way, and in return, creating a child who then becomes an abuser later on in life. Essentially creating a cyclical system of violence.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me pose to you a question. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If I take a photo of me and a friend in a park and put it on a blog as a background picture, what happens if that blog makes any money? You see, because I took a picture and have a park in the background on a blog that makes money, regardless if its micro pennies or big dollars, I then get labeled as a criminal, charged, threatened to pay fines, and then finally threatened with violence. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Your probably thinking, <i> </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>ya, but how would they find a picture on my little old blog?</i>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>IT CAN BE DONE</b>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If they can recognize your face with street cameras they can find copyrighted/protected/unlawful material on the net. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Its all about algorithms my friend. </span> All in the hopes of taking easy money, or, the more upfront/bold/sensationalized term, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-taking candy from a baby . </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The problem is, everyone has their own business identity nowadays, everyone is their own entrepreneur. Everyone has a youtube or flickr page, you would be hard to find someone who wouldn't be affected by this law. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This whole thing absolutely infuriates me, the depths governments are willing to go to squeeze their citizens pockets, hearts and souls is despicable. It has installed in me a passion for honesty and freedom that is beyond what we have in our current system, and I suppose that's why when I saw the </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(<b>no photos</b>) sign, that $1000 permit story REALLY hit home with me. :Mini Rant done</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The one place your allowed to take photos is the learning centre; it was filled with native art, pictures of Petroglyphs and Native American stories. A lady asked me to help take a picture of her with her kids using her camera, I kindly obliged. Just after it was done she sneezed, then started coughing,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I though to myself, <i>Wonderful, ebola.</i></span><br />

The park is filled with lots of amazing walking trails so its just a little frustrating when you bring your dog along and then you cant go see the glyphs. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Another easy locale for the rock collector and it is still an impressive mound of rubble hording a few interesting specimens. I only noticed extremely small fragments of sodalite intermixed amongst things, and to be honest I dont know much about the rock here. So, I decided I'd take a few samples, study it back at home and come again with an educated guess. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Im not sure if your suppose to pull right up, but I did. I had been to three mines already and this was like going to help a friend move an entire house after just winning a firemen competition. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In front of the car you can see a white mound, that is the mine dump. Say maybe 20-30 ft high, dont ask me how wide, yeeessh. Very relaxing spot. Very convenient to just pull up. No need for major tools. </span><br />

<li><span style="font-size: large;">something to shovel the rock </span></li>
</ol>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, its always best to bring a bottle of water to wash specimens of dirt </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">( if you can get a squirt bottle from a tattoo supplier they work really well for this). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">And to be honest, that would be overkill, you can just go and pick samples off the ground if you want.</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will give a more detailed experience of how to get there and the minerals available on the second trip as this was all a blur of adrenaline fueled rockhounding by this time in the day. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Im not sure what I like more, rockhounding in the spring or fall?. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Something about the smell in the air, the sparse bug population and the ability to put in work without turning into a one maned sauna is always kinda nice. Being that I'd be away all day and this was kind of a special occasion for me, I decided to bring a little treat to toast off the fall season. A local brewed citrus ale accompanied me in my journey adding to the celebration and spice of harvest time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The day did not disappoint, and from what Ive learned now, I wasnt even where the <b>REALLY </b>good stuff is. Turns out, I was walking on it. Here I am, crawling up the side of the cliff face looking in crevices and hacking at the wall when it turns out, I could have just sat on the ground? YUP. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There you can find feldspar, ( some radioactive stuff too ) amazonite, mica, fluorite, tourmaline and the thing everyone comes here for </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*Drum roll*.......... <b>☑ BERYL</b><b> ☑ </b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When you go, expect a bit of a hike to get in, I kept thinking to myself a combination of, <i> </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>{why did you bring the sledgehammer?}</i> and <i>{just a little bit further, its just around the corner}</i>. I highly suggest a backpack for tools and a bucket for your rocks, a palanquin with 6 able bodies and your journey to the new world awaits!. Ok, ok, Im over-exaggerating the walk in, its not that bad compared to other mines. Im just saying, After a day of digging rocks, who doesn't dream of being brought out on a palanquin from time to time?. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">When you arrive, there are a few display stands giving you some sample specimens to look over and information on other mineral collecting spots in the area. There are quite a few mines around so this place does have traffic from collectors. But, from what I can make out, it looks like the owners move things around, adding to the pile and open things up ( the dumps ) every so often. So there's <b>PLENTY </b>to be found. There was some broken beryl in the dumps, along with large smokey quartz and clear quartz, Cleavlandite, amazonite, garnet, and I personally found some very nice black tourmaline specimens just lying on the ground. The blue in some of the amazonite here is brilliant. The amazonite is mostly comprised of the pinkish/blue type, but if you look hard enough there are chunks of bright baby blue beauties to be found. </span><br />

When asked by police what his business in Canada was,<br />
Capone replied "I dont even know what street Canada is on"<br />
<br />
Gota love that sarcastic, "you wont fool me copper" kinda humor. <br />
<br />
<br />
This unique piece of history was almost lost to the trees when I arrived as it seems no one is taking care of it, or interested in preserving part of Canada's controversial past. When you first walk up the evidence of vandalism is everywhere. The place has been treated like a dump and is embarrassing to know my fellow Canadians are mostly to blame. Why someone needs to deface history to prove they were there when all there doing is adding to the breakdown and ruin of said object is beyond me/idiotic. The very thing they felt so interested in, they then chose to add to its destruction. Makes absolutely no sense to me. All this tagging/marking/vandalism does is make the actual land owner<br />
( yes, this is private property ) want to enforce his rights so no one can come here. So, all that people are really doing by tagging is wrecking it for the rest of us, and possibly your future children.<br />
Dont be a jerk, let others enjoy the fun too. <br />
As the saying goes, "take a picture, it'll last longer". <br />
<br />
Rant done. <br />

From what I understand, it was just boarded up a year or two ago, but I managed to find a broken window and had to take some pics before this place was either destroyed or turned into someones home; the risk was worth the reward from my perspective.<br />
If you go, be careful, the floor was caving in all over and the fact that its all boarded up now means there is no light, making the holes even more dangerous ( bring a flash light, my Iphones light didn't work all that well from my experience ). There is also NO cell service, so if something happens to you, your on your own. If you can, dont go alone.<br />

I decided to add some noise in the photo to give it that old time scary movie vibe something like a blair witch project effect. I had shot this on my Iphone so noise/graininess wasnt a problem, *chuckles to himself* but with the right tweaking on PS it gives the feel like its right off a horror movie role. <br />

4th bedroom. Ive heard people try and say this was a torture room but I have my doubts. There are wires hooked up to the wall and a mount but the cables could only hold something mildly heavy, Definitely not a human. The first thing that came to mind was old photos Ive seen of when counterfeiters dried there money on similar wire racks. I could just be jumping to that idea because of the criminal nature of Capone tho. It does also look like how they deal with old negative photos, but I have a hard time believing Capone was into photography that much. <br />

Our Muscovy's have been producing eggs since spring and now, of all times, is when they decide to hatch them out;
they certainly picked a funny season those silly little quackers. With fall just around the corner we still have enough time for them to grow, the only problem now, keeping walking bait away from the barn cats.<br />

‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾</div>
As soon as they hatched the father duck wouldnt leave the coop, I thought it was just some nice gesture to the moma but boy was I wrong. So the next day I walked in and gave them some feed, <b>then</b>, out of nowhere, the male duck bends down and snaps up a little baby duck by the head.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
WHAT THE!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So after a little research I found out this can happen, the male might be trying to stay in his hierarchical position, so any new male competition is lunch, regardless of whether its his babies or not.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The interesting thing of all this is, one day, the moma duck looked like she had left the kids with the other duck, we'll call her auntie. I thought to myself (<i>how nice)</i>, it almost seemed like some type of companion parenting, after all, it does take a village, right. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But soon I realized something was off. Whenever moma duck came around, auntie would hiss, then start biting and I could tell auntie wasnt letting moma near her babies.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This must have been happening for a while as when I separated the babies from auntie, they chirped away very unhappily. Auntie did not want to give up those babies, she hissed at me, bit me twice and fluttered in my face with her wings. Im starting to wonder if maybe she doesnt think she's stealing them, maybe she thinks there her own for some reason?. not sure why all this happened, but very interesting to watch the drama unfold.</div>

The little yellow one was just stepped on by our new goat, it was terrifying. <br />
I thought she was a goner. But she literately dusted herself off, pushed her wing back into place and went off hunting for bugs with the rest of the family. Not even a sign of hurt or shock. I figured Id give it a day or two to really know how she was doing and so far, she's a trooper.<br />

The old nest. As soon as the young ones hatched she gave up on the old eggs. <br />

As being new to owning chickens we wernt sure if they would come back after being let out, and the first time we tried it, it didnt turn out well. It resulted in me running around the property chasing after these birds with toes like velociraptors<br />
( I may be exaggerating on that ).<br />
But after a good hour or so I maged to corral them back in the coop.<br />
<br />
We then found out chickens need time to grow used to they're new home, so we gave it a few weeks and then crossed our fingers. Now, we really couldn't wait the full two weeks, we dont like animals being locked up, so, it was decided, enough is enough, if they fly off they fly off, it will be a $40 lesson.<br />
<br />
Luckily, now that we've added a few more animals, everything seems to have changed. When the chickens were let out today, they didn't immediately run off, they stayed to watch what the ducks were up to. After that, they started to act like chickens, rustling through the leaves and dirt looking for bugs, climbing up trees and looking for places to lay a nest.<br />
<br />
The golden laced polish chickens just happen to be one of my favourite breeds, The colour pattern on them is brilliant, with they're boisterous hairdo resembling something of a mix between Einstein and don king. One thing to keep in mind, while they are an attractively showy bird, of coat and hairstyle, they are in no need of specialized care, in fact, they are an extremely hearty variety of chicken, putting up with frigged Canadian winters and our boiling heatwave like summers.<br />
<br />
They enjoy scraps from the table, red wiggler worms from our compost, oats, sunflower seeds, cantaloupe, apples, kiwi, sprouts, and many other fresh foods.<br />

Here is our rooster, youd think it would be annoying having a rooster right out back in your yard but honestly, I dont even notice. It also adds to the ambiance of a farm, with the goats meh'ing, and the ducks squakings, it only makes sense to have a roster crowing, after all, it is only just a few times in the morning, he doesn't seem to do much during the day. This might all change, depending on if we add more birds ( competition ) to the mix.<br />

While some could use this card to pull off evil acts of legal property invasion and lawful plunder, anyone who does so should be tarred and feathered, but hey, Im old fashioned.<br />
<br />
This little card here is somewhat of an all access pass across Ontario lands, allowing rockhounds the opportunity to prospect provincial parks, penetrate and probe private properties, even pillage small amounts of "Sample material" for "analysis".<br />
or, to take it a step further,<br />
set up a mine in your backyard -(WOW eh)<br />
<br />
While there have been some amendments to the rules recently, with certain central and southern areas of Ontario said to be off limits, let us not forget, this is Ontario. With the right amount of money, connections or economy driven impact, anything is possible. So yes, special exceptions can be made believe it or not, and, if you just so happen to be living on gold ANYWHERE in Ontario, and sadly, not own your mineral rights ( as most dont, they are not usually included in the sale of a house ).<br />
Someone might just set up shop on YOUR property, regardless of what previous plans you've made or weddings you are about to throw.<br />
<br />
Ontario's laws continue to amaze me.<br />
<br />

Something I just found at the side of the house. There looks to be quartz on one side but the rest I have no clue. Very strange looking piece. <br />

We just recently picked up a trio of Muscovy ducks and its really starting to feel like a farm around here. With 2 chickens, 2 goats, 3 ducks, 6 barn cats and a caboodle of kittens We are on our way!.<br />
<br />
The one thing I can tell you is, out of all the animals we have so far, the ducks are a delight to take care of. They waddle around, with no big hurry, feasting through bugs in the air and grasses on the ground. Corralling them to a certain location is beyond easy, just walk behind, helping guide them in the right direction, and off they go!. The only slight gripe I have is, sometimes, if I'm a little forgetful and leave the goat pen door open, the ducks get in and start eating all the left-over seed on the ground, <b>THEN POOP</b>. <br />

Our male Muscovy has a wonderful demeanor, he shows no bother to our two goats, even going as far as to compete with them over snacks on the ground. When he flaps his wings, you can feel the air move all around you, freaks my goats right out!, He's also one snazzy dancer, If you walk up and bob your head slightly, he does his little dance and shakes his tale. <br />

One of our female Muscovy's has blue eyes and is the more timid of the bunch. The other female seems to like de-feathering her, it was only a big issue when we first got them, everything has seemed to calm down now, Thankfully.<br />

I dont know too much about flowers but I sure can appreciate them! From what I understand, this is an iris. It grows wild under our maple trees in our front yard and what I find interesting is, How similar in looks it is to a vanilla vine<br />

Our rhubarb has started to flower and I figured I would collect some seeds and see what comes of it.<br />
I understand quite well the complexities of growing plants whose seeds pop out like the roulette effect. Yes, it will not be like the parent plant but that's the whole point!. When it comes to these things, the more genetic variety the better, after all, I would hate to see what happened to the banana happen to rhubarb, I couldn't go on with out my pies and strawberry rhubarb deserts.<br />
I swear on that giant spaghetti monster in the sky!<br />

Are these prickly poppies?<br />
<br />
Now, Ive grown poppies before, mainly for leaning about the medical aspects and how they're grown but I never got that into all the other varieties. They look vary similar, the flower pod, the stem, the spikes on the flower bud, but the leaves are soooooOOOOOO covered in thorns it just didn't look like what I know. Ive only grown papaver somniferum, some Hawaiian blue poppy and a few others I piked up from Richters herbs.<br />
<br />
If anyone out there knows what this is please let us know!<br />

Its certainly something living out in eastern Ontario. The amount of wildlife here is extraordinary.<br />
BUT! I feel there is a warning I must give to future property investors,<br />
The one thing that might wreck it for SOME people is......<br />
THE BUGS.<br />
<br />
Man 'OOOO man are there bugs.<br />
<br />
Ive never experienced anything like the bug population here. If you breath in to heavily, you've just consumed you protein for the day. The black flies will dive bomb your eyes and the mosquitoes will suck you inside out. Now, there is a benefit to all this chaos. The ecosystem is THRIVING. The amount of bird species here is unlike anything else in Ontario, the butterflies are everywhere, the parasitoid wasps are around in apocalyptic droves. Bees and wasps are a plenty here, at least on the organic farms that is.<br />
So, if you can put up with a mouth full of bugs, you will do fine down here. lol.<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

This is mocha, he's a wild one. He loves eating/licking things he's not suppose to ( pressure treated wood, chicken coops, clothes on the line ), But he also enjoys the good stuff like watermelon, cantaloupe and oats. His favourite game involves head-butting anyone's hand, but of the two, he's the baby of the bunch, always needs a companion and CANT be alone.<br />

This is Nabob, He is gentler then mocha and he use to be inseparable, but has recently been gaining courage, bravely trotting off around the property. He's much pickier the Mocha and doesnt like fruit, just his oats, grass and maybe a few trees. <br />

The princess sodalite mine has been a destination high on my rockhound priorities list. When I was young, my uncle gave me a piece of sodalite, fascinated by its colour, and little did he know, that mineral would snowball my curiosity for the field.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
( If theres one thing I've learned from this, its, Give your child, or any child for that matter, a few of your specimens, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you never know who you will inspire )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today couldn't have been better, it was 23C, early spring ( no bugs...yet), bright blue sky, and for the most part, it was me, by myself, digging all day. I had brought some carrots, a peach, few apples, and a mason jar of water </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
( cant forget the toilet paper!! █ all they have there is <u><b>→</b></u> <b>ONE</b><b></b> <u><b>← </b></u>outhouse █ )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This dig does not require any fancy tools, A simple rock hammer and maybe crack hammer would be good but even those are not necessary.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
( One thing that would be a good idea to bring is a good pair of safety goggles tho ).</div>
Other then that I brought a UV flashlight and my camera to test and capture what was around,<br />
Of coarse, I get lost in picking and forgot to take pictures of what I was doing/found. lol.<br />

( It took a lot of work to get rid of the poles and wires, Im still tweaking it tho, needs a little more work on the right side, I will come back and post the update later ) <br />
<br />
The View driving in looks like something the group of seven would paint, a scene so perfect that even the overhead wires seemed to drift away as I became swept up in the beauty, fresh air and relief of knowing this past winter was finally behind us. There is an old mine cart that sits out front stacked with a rockhounds treasure. Across the road lye's a large body of water, infusing the air with an aroma impossible to capture in a glade plug-in </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
( can you tell I dont like those things?).</div>
I'll be honest, this was one of the easiest drives to go rockhounding, I think it was nearly one or two turns off 62. There is ample parking, its a no worries type of place, if you want to head out to your car to eat lunch then go back to picking, you can. Its a very easy going vibe, thanks in large part to its owner.<br />

The inside is a great little shop, they have all kinds of specimens from ontario and around the world. They have everything from home accessories, jewelery, sample specimens, healing stones, fossils, rock/mineral books, and info on other mines in the area. The owner is extremely friendly and the only reason I didnt get a picture of him was, I find it strange asking people I dont know for they're picture. Other then that, He is willing to listen and help identify what you have, cant say enough good things about the man. <br />

This is the tailings pile, from what I understand, it gets filled up a few times a year with more rocks/minerals and the fun continues. While I thought it would be bigger, and at first I wasnt finding much, but this was all my fault and all to change in due time. I thought I would check the sides of the pile but that turned out to be a bust, so I thought, If they were dumping it in here it must be piled up in the middle, so the digging began and the beauties started popping out of everywhere.<br />

These are some of the gem/minerals I found. There was a lot of apatite, some rose quartz and I'm not sure what that black looking mineral in the top right is, well, its actually red'ish/purple but the camera cant pick it up. Also, there is a black mineral on the far left, to the right of the rose quartz, I think it might be black tourmaline?.<br />

Some of the fossils I found range from clam shells to corals. They must have shipped these in from Ottawa/Montreal/Quebec because, I was just reading a book on fossils (road rocks of Ontario- Nick Eyles- <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Road-Rocks-Ontario-Geological-Discover/dp/1550418599">http://www.amazon.ca/Road-Rocks-Ontario-Geological-Discover/dp/1550418599</a> ) and these look exactly like what was shown from Quebec/Montreal area.<br />
( FANTASTIC book by the way, I will be picking up the entire collection )<br />

What a looker.... lol</div>
<br />
Ahh well, they're alive.<br />
<br />
We just received our order of 5 pawpaws, 1 Cornelian cherry and 1 Sassafras tree. All seem to be alive but time will tell. While we are in the agriculture business to sell food, we are also collectors of rare species, efficiency and economics be damned. <br />
<br />
Variety is the spice of life so they say, and I tend to agree with'em.<br />
The sassafras tree is something Ive always thought about since I started gardening. When you enjoy cooking and growing your own food, you inevitably start wandering down the path of potential, and for some reason its always those plants with such a troubled history I crave to own so badly. Im not sure if its the allure or just our nightmarish history of how we treat plants (/things) plaguing me, putting my bulldog determination into high gear, trying to order/acquire every species possible before its gone or screwed up with genetic modification. <br />
<br />
The Pawpaws we managed to get our hands on were as follows.<br />
<br />
1. P.A Golden<br />
2. Fairchild-Zimmermin<br />
3. O Taytoo<br />
4. Davis<br />
5. Green river<br />

I thought I would take a trip around the property and see what I can find since spring is in the air and its never to early for a curious mind. Ive already come across some fossils of bone turning into quartz, dragon fly fossils, ancient crinoid blooms stuck in carboniferous limestone, a massive boulder with a rainbow-like quartz vein some 5 inches in width and 8 feet in length. There are heirloom apples on the hill and beach plums separating the pastures. Chaga lay on the fallen birch tree in the back, and heritage raspberry bushes fill every nook and cranny. An absolute smorgasbord of taste, history and experience.<br />

The leaves have almost a maple leaf like appearance and once you know the plant you will be seeing it everywhere. They have a strong stem and will hold the weight of the berries. Sometimes the plant can look intimidating, covered in thorns from stem to berry, but even then the fruit is still edible.... with proper preparation.<br />
