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 MoreAn Actual Ski Weekend
Justine and I finally managed to sneak a couple of days of skiing this year! We left it pretty much until the end of the season, but we had an super-fun weekend at Silver Star Mountain resort near Vernon in the interior. It was a long way to go for a couple of days, but it ended up being excellent and a great way to wrap up “winter”.

In the middle of trying to get our place put back together with the renovation, I found a great deal on a small Yardistry greenhouse that looked like it would be a perfect size for the roof!

We also did some more broome cutting and burning - a great start to spring!

We booked a long weekend on Mount Washington. It should have been epic, but instead the conditions were horrendous! We skied one day and did some tubing but it was really a bust as there was no snow! We did have a great visit with friends, so that made it all worth while! Heads up - this post is pretty long.

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.
