It’s been an unwinding ( winding down) get chores done, do laundry, bake bread, walk the dogs etc. kind of day.

It’s also been an – oops – what the hell is going on kind of day?

Like – suddenly this morning, as I started my first load of laundry – no water. None. Nada. Simon went up to the water boxes. Seems there was some debris (read entire trees and crap). And so the work he had planned on doing this morning (putting the basement back together now that the floor is done) had to go on hold while he fixed the water issue. And then he had to go to Nakusp to get the sheeting for the outside and and and….

Just one of those days.

That said, it was nice to walk the dogs on the Galena trail without even a jacket. It’s warm. No more fires. Doors open to let the air in.

Simon is making our basement sink look like new – he insists that caustic toilet bowl cleaner was the best solution he could find. I have to admit, it appears to have worked.

He is now installing the sink.

Tomorrow will be my first shorts hike of the season! Awesome!

And the next day, I will be in waterproof pants again and snowshoes.

Ah yes – spring in the Kootenays.
