This is going to be a long, somewhat random post catching up on a few different topics. First off some updates on the progress of the gardens and orchard at Galiano. Spring means that things change so quickly. It’s been a frustrating start to the season. I also got to set-up my new Lymow, robotic autonomous lawn mower and start to understand how it works (spoiler pretty well so far!). It was also my birthday and we had a nice night on the roof with Alex and Matt. Like I said, lot sto cover as it’s been a busy month!

We were back on the island for the weekend, with lots of work to do. We cut more broome, had a big fire to burn it all, hung out with some friends and got a bunch of work done around the property. Sunday morning we joined up with a local bird walk to see what we might see around Bellhouse Provincial Park. It was quite a nice weekend, and we saw more than birds!
Read MoreThe Start of Spring Projects
We were back on Galiano for the weekend, with a whole raft of projects to tackle. We finally got to use a purchase that we made back in the fall, there was more garden to be planted and of course broome to be cut. We ended up with a pretty nice weekend and we got a lot done!
Read MoreSan Jose and Back to Galiano
It’s been a busy spell for travel. Immediately after getting back from Galiano (see the last post) I was on a plane to San Jose for a few days in our head office. While it was a pretty uneventful week, the weather in San Jose was amazing! After being back for a few days, I was heading back to Galiano solo to deal with a bunch of activities for the golf course while Justine had a girl’s weekend at home.
Read MoreA Quick Weekend on Galiano
I got back from Barcelona around midday on Friday. The trip home was fine and I powered through to stay up until a normal bedtime. Saturday morning we were headed over to Galiano to see how spring was unfolding and to start planting some of the early seeds. We only had a couple of days, but it’s always nice to head over.
Read MoreAn Early Start to Spring on Galiano
I know that it’s only mid-February, but we’ve had such a mild winter that it really feels like spring has arrived. This past weekend we were on Galiano and I took advantage of the warm, clear weather to get an early start on prepping the gardens. We also did some more broome cutting and burning - a great start to spring!

This is going to be a short post covering a couple of things over the past few weeks. I am working on a larger post on my trip to Las Vegas and CES (the Consumer Electronics Show), which I hope to get up shortly. In the meantime, we had a fun night out at Harry Potter at the Symphony and this past weeked on Galiano we had a bit of an inversion, which offered up some incredible views.
