As circumstances change ---- we adapt!

We were busy in December. January looked like a down month ....nothing to do but watch the snow fall.

Then things changed. We received a call inviting us back to Chalet Bancroft. Actually it was a request for help. In true reckless fashion my brother learned ladders can't bend they just topple. That's what happened ---- with him on it. Result a broken ankle and a very upset wife.

Timing was terrible. They are busy completing their new home. They had commitments in Toronto ...... things to do people to see .
 
Their daughter will undergo surgery on Monday in Toronto. Art needs to have his cast changed in Belleville (the same day). We are here to help out --- keep the home fires burning (literally), keep the acrobat out of further mischief and play chauffeur. Hopefully Mary will rest a little easier knowing things at home are being looked after and she can do what needs to be done in Toronto.

First duty at the resort this morning was feeding the chickens.

These hens enjoy their morning porridge as much as we do.




The "girls" (as Mary calls them) were happy to see me and dug right in.




They have their morning treat and I picked up mine.


Eggs don't come much fresher than this. Now back to the house for breakfast.




The sun is shining. We are cozy warm. Art is doing well. Tomorrow will be be a long day but I am positive all will be well ----- at the very least we will adapt.




Life never stands still. Embrace each moment. Tomorrow is always a new day.
