UP, UP and Away!

Norm and Jacques have taken off on a flying adventure of a lifetime! They spent a great deal of time re-packing the plane so as to keep the weight appropriate and evenly distributed. Their final destination – Eureka, Nunavut! We will follow their travels over the next few weeks so be sure to check in on us as we keep you posted.

We (and the collies) are very excited about our new ranch members – Charlotte and Tiger. They have settled in quite nicely in their new home along side the creek by the Honeymoon Cabin. It will be fun to watch their personalities develop, not to mention their weight!

Brian entertained the Clinton elementary school children as they stopped in for an informative visit and demonstration during their year’s end school trip. They seemed to be as entertained by the turkeys as they were by Brian and the falcons!

The morel mushrooms are out and many are taking advantage of the bounty. There are pickers and buyers everywhere in the area as last year’s fire has made for an exceptional growing year. We had a chance to sample some of the harvest as both Nan and Yalaporn cooked us up some delicious morel dishes – a great compliment to a wonderful meal!

We were blessed enough to have clear nights surrounding the full moon. Hopefully Canada Day will gift us with continuous, beautiful summer weather for us and our guests to share.

Happy Canada Day !:)

Norm and Jacques spent countless hours preparing for the their flight, repacking and repacking ... and repacking!

Charlotte and Tiger are very happy in their new home!

The school kids loved the turkey's response to their many silly questions!
