Sunshine! Warm(ish) sunshine and....... a longggggg list of outside chores to be done. Not to mention some tweaking and testing of the Square Brigadier into just the right size and shape for my 54's in the age of breach loading rifles.

Might be a few days before I can post anything like a proper battle report but hopefully I can slip in some tidbits.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal, 5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of Italian Greyhounds and 3 cats. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 160 yr old farmhouse and just living.
Yes my garden is turning into a jungle - a combination of rain and warmer weather .
ReplyDeleteEvery season has its chores, but winter and spring have the nost here,
DeleteKnow the feeling. Finishing touches still being added to the pond, noticed I've taken my eye off the brambles... so one job nearly finished to be replaced by another job...
ReplyDeleteSneaky things btambles.
DeleteHaving just survived a 12 round, heavyweight bout with reorganizing and clearing out the garage, I can relate. Thankfully, our lead legions are timeless and stand-to ready to pick up wherever we left them.

ReplyDeleteLemme guess: .577-cal. Snyder-Enfield
or a Springfield or Martini-Henry or Chassepot or.... I mean these are toy soldiers!
DeleteI moved into an apartment in the city about two years ago. One of the things I don't miss about being in a house is outside chores. Good luck!
ReplyDeletewell said, John Y.
DeleteYard work is like communism. Seems like a great idear at the time; everyone can pitch in....in theory; it's fun.......for 5 minutes; eventually, it seems like you're right back where you started.
Inside, outside, chores are just part of the fabric of being retired in an old farmhouse.
