It only a faint memory now, during our early days in the Yukon when Colin was only working a little, and spending lots of time exploring , meeting people and being an excellent House Husband. He now has at least 5 jobs, and I might even be missing one or two from his imaginary business card. There are two brand new ones- he agreed to coordinate the FireSmart projects in our community, which focus on reducing the threat posed by wildfire around Yukon communities, through removing deadfall and other forest fuels, thinning trees, and planting less flammable tree species. FireSmart also funds projects that help communities develop long-term wildfire safety plans, create firebreaks, and make roadways more accessible for fire-fighting equipment. And there is also a new position with the Fireweed Community Market Society, as general manager, which Colin can describe better than I can :)
Here is the sunlight we have been enjoying lately:
Sunrise: Whitehorse 5:58am (Toronto 6:12am)
Sunset: Whitehorse 9:59pm (Toronto 8:18pm)
Cookie is recovering well from her leg gash, although it keeps opening up with all the moving around she does. Colin had to take her back to the vet for some husky-strength staples to hold her leg skin together so it can heal. The dogs are settling well into being house pets, although they aren't their usual happy, bouncy selves until they are outside. We're going to try to bandage up Cookie's leg today, put the cone head on, and leave Smiley and Cookie outside in the pen while Colin works at the dump and I go to a practice for my role as tech support in our pal Kim's upcoming show called 'Echoes From the Rabbit Hole' in the Nakai Theatre's Homegrown Theatre Festival, happening in 2 weeks.
Bye for now,
Love Lauren
