The summer is moving quickly and along with daily swimming and a few ongoing projects to improve the cottage, we find time for some adventure!
Getting set to head down the Irondale to Kinmount with our cottage neighbours Sharron and Lynne! It was a glorious day of paddling with lunch by the Falls and a swim at Black Rock.
Matt and I headed out by canoe one afternoon from Howland Junction - to go fishing for Muskie at Three Brothers Falls just a short paddle upstream from this beautiful trestle bridge. It was a fun spot to fish but two lost Muskie lures and a few hours later... still no bites. The scenery and company make the trip well worthwhile, but a bite or two would of been nice!
Matt gets his new Tomahawk throwing axe from Robyn Simpson of http://www.songofthewoods.com/. We met Robyn at the Kinmount Farmers Market where he sells his handcrafted knives and aboriginal ceremonial tools and leathercrafts. Over the past five summers Matt and Robyn have become buddies as Robyn is always ready with a tip on knife care and a story about his wares. Matt got this throwing axe as a grade 6 graduation present from his Aunt Linda and Uncle Bill and Grandparents - Shirley and Marvin!
Upon returning with his new axe we go and visit our neighbours Ekk and Doris who are avid axe throwers and they offer Matt a stump of wood to use as a target!
The Harvest is starting - some fantastic beans! There are lots of tomatoes on the way and some very nice cukes!
With some advice and help from Ekk, I manage to get some electrical bugs worked out. I really never thought things were right as the spare bedroom lights and plugs kept tripping the ground fault plug in the bathroom! Fixed! Now everything should stay on and bathroom plug is separate from bedroom! And all accomplished without running any new wires or lines to the breaker panel. It is amazing how simple things can be when you know what you are doing. Thanks Ekk!!
