"SUNRISE IN THE NORTHERN FOREST!"

A beautiful golden sunrise ushers in another great day here at Miortuk.
It was a wonderful week here with some nice warm weather and some much needed rain. It was also a nice week with visits to some friends and time spent on the lake with friends on Saturday.
I was also able to finally get out kayaking with the break in the heat & humidity. It was a beautiful trip visiting some my favorite retreats in a couple of peaceful bays just quietly drifting and enjoying the nature!
The dogs continue to relax enjoying the Summer.
Take time to enjoy the world around you!
Until next week......

" HOT, HUMID WEATHER CONTINUES IN THE NORTHERN FOREST!"

Hot/humid weather continued this week along with some much needed rain.
The photo is tonights sunset and is indicitive of some of the beautiful sunsets witnessed this week.
The dogs continued to relax in the heat and became a little more active at night fall when the temperatures cooled down.
This is a time for relaxation, as soon the Fall training/conditioning will begin and another running season will be here.
This is so far the warmest Summer on record here and in many parts of the World. Is this an example of global warming?
THINK COOL!!
Until next week......

"EXTREME TEMPERATURES HIT THE NORTHERN FOREST!!"

Here I am thinking cool, but that sure wasn't the case here this week! Extremely hot weather with temperatures in the 30C range and with high humidity made the humidex readings in the low to mid 40C area.
Luckily the kennel area is in shade for the best part of the day being surrounded by the forest. Also, additional shade is provided by their dog houses that they can get under. The dogs are smart enough not to expend much energy and lay quietly in the shade. It is very important to ensure they keep well hydrated with these extreme conditions.
I also had to go for the monthly supply of frozen meat for the dogs on Tuesday, leaving here at 6am and returning here around 11am. The quick trip in the early part of the day that ensured the meat stayed frozen until placed in the freezers here.
We had a heavy rain here on Friday that helped relieve the high temperatures but did nothing for the humidity.
STAY COOL!
THINK WINTER!
Until next week.......

" I AM BACK! BACK TO THE BEAUTY & TRANQUILLITY OF THE NORTHERN FOREST!"

After spending a week away visiting family in Ontario, it felt great to return to the rhythm of life in the forest!
I had a real good time visiting with my Mother & family after a three year hyannis. My mother at the age of 94 is remarkable! Her memory is perfect and though she cant get around as before, she is still quite capable of getting around with assistance of a walker.
I don't know what it is when I leave the forest. But, the last time we had a major snow storm here in mid March. This time an earthquake near Ottawa and its presence was felt in Ontario, Quebec and eastern USA.
HUM! Is there a message here?
All was well here and a friend of mine took good care of the dogs and the kennel. Good friends are greatly appreciated!
Happy 4th of July to all my American Visitors.
Until next week.......
