We had some pretty extreme weather this past week with record-breaking temperatures followed by poor air quality from recent wildfires in northwestern Ontario. We had planned to spend a few days at the cabin over the weekend and even booked some time off work. Thankfully we got some much needed rain the day before we were leaving which seemed to clear up the heat, humidity and smoky skies.

It’s finally starting to feel like spring here in southern Ontario with warmer weather and a lot of sunshine. But it’s only a matter of time before the mosquitoes become active.

The Cabin – February 2023
We planned to visit the cabin at the beginning of January to celebrate the New Year, but due to a series of mishaps, including a fierce winter storm over the holidays and us forgetting our snowshoes, we had to make alternative plans.
