How can we be more "ecochallenge" at work? This is the challenge we need to think about for the next years.

Encountered one of the most dangerous animals in Canada; especially when they are nesting! We turned around here because they were very aggressive protecting their nest 😂

Time to get the snow tires off so walked to and from the garage. It was a nice day and I'm optimistic that snow is over for anothe winter so we'll probably get one more snow 😂

Learn a little something new each day. Enjoying this year's challenge.

We went back out to the River and Ruin trail. We couldn't believe how green to had become in just a week. Trilliums will be blooming soon!
