can you actually see the milky way at night (when skies are clear)? all we get are isolated stars in the sky in the suburbs. can't wait to be rural when I retire.

Probably, the telescope is coming out shortly. We came home to the Northern Lights on the weekend.
We went camping a few days ago and out in BFE we could see constellations before it even got dark. I want that every day.
Um... yeah. This wasn't in the brochure.
"Yeah, bro. Sure."
Who needs an irrigation ditch? Take notes and pictures now to plan your future water features more deliberately.

Three feet of wet snow from Tuesday night to Wednesday at supper. Cut a foot path to the quarter deck door and barked up the snowblower. Stuff wasn't all that deep but so wet and heavy that it took multiple passes to get to the sidewalks. Ran out of gas about 90% done and had to do a hot fuel. Blower actually rebarked on the recoil which made me happy; meant I got the idle adjustment on the carb about as close as two hairs on a piece of skin. (LOL)
Boss phoned this AM. Cancelled the meeting for this PM Her whole family including her went down with Omicron or Variant/Variant Omicron. Hadda chuckle. She was saying that she felt well enough to come in tomorrow. Her husband told her that if she did that, He' call the Health Dep't on her.
Roadplow actually made the second pass this morning so got to handbomb that off the drive. Now my guts hate me.. The added insult to this is that another Alberta Clipper is supposed to be brewing along with one of those Siberian Death Winds of Cold.
MIke, count your blessings, booze and all. You have bare ground to ogle and, for future consideration, putting in a French Drain will siphon off the water.

I believe part of this is due to the record snowfall. When we moved in the sloughs were bone dry. There in another one in the back that I cannot quite see, and they are connected with a balancing trench. A trench I thought about filling, and now have strongly reconsidered. We were dreaming about idea of using the water (if it filled) for our "crops" and now it looks much more likely. Incredible last few days. Gotta look into a jet pump now.
I am definitely looking at this for around the shop. The house is very well elevated... the shop is not.
Perhaps a moat would be useful to keep the riffraff out of your shop.
Flatlander issues. We much prefer to have raging rivers that wash your house away during snow melt season - you can see that before purchase without a brochure haha.
What's the scoop with your neighbor's non-invisible, invisible fence of tires in the field? Are they to keep something out, like unruly new and loud neighbors from Ottawa, or keep something in?
It's nice to hear you're involved in the community development program that involves tow chains, snow and booze. I could fit into that group 😉 I'm curious of what the neighbors think of the Boom Tube?

I think the tires are over top of some small bushes to protect them. My neighbours will learn to love me... or hate me...
