Love the socks Erika! And the yellow canoe. Yellow for Ernst.. I remember shopping there. And Mark singing! This video is another gem. Makes me miss the river for sure.

Good to see the pack enjoying some time in the mountains with their humans. Beautiful scenery. Interesting to see the scorched trees surrounded by plants coming back to life.

@AlmostHomestead our kids are a lot more pleasant when not woofing their faces off at you, huh? Ha ha ha! The burn scar is pretty ugly, but you're right the green (and flowers!!) is coming back in force!

I absolutely love the forest garden that you guys have created. Weird that your potatoes already bloomed. Ours just started. Maybe yours were in before ours. The tomatoes that you gave us are doing great. 🙌 Your onions are looking good. We struggle growing them.

Your lovely and wise wife recently encouraged me to trim my onion tops, I think it made a huge difference in their happiness over my attempt last year. Oh, and some added sunshine, that might have helped us too!
