Spring in Lacolle

As the warmer weather arrives the horses begin shedding their winter coats, we help by brushing them each day. Poor Insy happened to be sitting in just the wrong place as we groomed Luna and has ended up with most of Luna's coat on her! She didn't care though, nothing was going to interrupt her beauty sleep!

Poor Luna was the fluffiest horse ever, but she loves all the attention

Back to work in the woods and this month we have been clearing a path along the boarder of the property so a new fence can be put up, its a bit of a nightmare as everything is so over grown. This is the beginning of the line today and what we have to cut through

and this is behind us to show the contrast of what we cut down yesterday

6am and we start the day with the sun low

11am and it is nice to see the progress we have made, look at that lovely clear path

The next morning at 6am

and the same spot after we have cleared it at 11am, lets just hope that the whole place doesn't begin to over grown before they get a chance to put the new fence up.

Its always nice to stop for a spot of lunch with friends over at Pierre's, its a very different sight to when we were here last, the lake was frozen with fishing huts on it and we were off skiing!

Afternoons see us down at the marina working on Marie, getting her ready to go back into the water for when the Marina opens on 15th May

Stuart has given her a good polish and anti-fouled the bottom, she has never looked so clean!

The nasty Marie sign that was panted on the back has been removed so we can put a nice new name on her.

Time to go back in the water

Just a few more essential, like the dingy, to go back down to the boat and we are nearly ready to leave
