Traffic circle

Midafternoon I was cycling the Victoria Park to Joe Ghiz park and the trail to Winsloe and then th road home.  The photo is where on the Upton road the government has started the work of putting a roundabout.
It was mostly sunny at 15 but with a cool north wind

Blueberry fields

 Lot of marsh Marigolds near Mount Stewart.

 This blueberry field is a couple of km west of Morell. Lots of green on the trees on the far side of the field.

This item is on the lawn at the information center in Mount Stewart. I am guessing that it is a water wheel from a old mill.  A sunny day with a high temperature of 22 with a west wind of 20-25 km/h.
After cycling I mowed the lawn.

Morning frost

 -2 at 6:00AM this morning with sunshine.

 This bed of tulips is along the North River road at Ellen creek.

I cycled from home to Victoria Park, then to the trail at Joe Ghiz park, then on the trail Winsloe and then took the road home.  This fox was on the trail but as I got close it just went off the trail until I went by. I was near Allen street when I took the photo.  A nice day at 20 with full sun and a light west breeze.
I was to the wood lot for a couple hours after lunch.

Farmer at work

 This farm is located in North Wiltshire.

 The poplar trees are leafing out. This evening I cycled from Milton to Hunter River and back to Milton.
It was sunny but cool a bit of a north wind with a temperature of 6.

This snow drift is in North Wiltshire, hard to believe it is May 28.

Crows

 After lunch I was to the ballfield woods and move another plank 70 meters.
The crows were making lots of noise. I didn't realize there was two on the tree til they flew away.
I am thinking there must be young one close by.

Overcast most of the day with a little rain in the morning. The temperature high was only 8.

Plasma

 I donated plasma today.  It rain all day, heavy at times around noon.
 Over night temp was only 3, high for the day was 7.

Strawberry blossoms

 After lunch I took a walk to the woods with a set of rope blocks, with the aid of the blocks I was able to move the half log about 70 meters.

Later I went cycling, I cycled to the mall, then took the trail to York, then back to Winsloe and on to home by the road. lots of strawberry blossoms on the side of the trail near the Union road.
There were some sunny breaks with a temp of 8.

Joe Ghiz park

 I cycled around Victoria park then to the start of the trail at the Joe Ghiz park. It was windy, see the flags.
It was cool too, the temperature was in the 6-7 area.

I cycled to Royalty Junction, then to Winsloe on the trail, then took the road home logging 34 km.
I then mowed the lawn for the first time

Mostly sunny at 18 with a light wind.

Snow in May

Today I cycled from Hampshire to Fredericton on the trail, this snow drift was in North Wiltshire.

This farmer was west on Hunter River, seems like it was only a couple of days ago the fields were too wet but from the dust cloud it is dry now.
I planter some of my garden in the morning. A nice day with a high around 24.

Robin egg shell

 I was cycling this morning, this is the Canadian Tire building the is under construction.

 The robin chicks must be hatching as this egg shell was on the trail.

Late afternoon my neighbor came over and said is tiller was out if I wanted to use it, so 30 minutes the garden is tilled. Now to get some seeds.  The temperature was up to 18 with a light wind.

Budding out

The maple trees are budding out.

The tulips are budding as well with three that have opened. Mostly sunny with a high of 9.

I donated plasma today right after lunch, they missed the vein on the first try, so had to go to the other arm.

So no cycling again today.

Flower bed

 The rhubarb patch is looking good.

The perennial flower bed is looking good with tulips, iris and sedum.
I visited neighbors at the chicken barn in the morning. I then was to the plasma center but after screening all done it was decided paper work not in order was send and to come back tomorrow.
I put the snow blower away for the summer and got the lawn mower ready. I was planing to cycled with the Monday evening ride but when I got to Sherwood the rain started, there were six showed up but we decided not to go. The high temperature for the day was 8 but at 6:00 when the rain started it was down to 2.

The cruise ship Maasdam was docked at the waterfront. At noon the temperature was 16 and by 4:00 PM it was down to 4.

Later in the afternoon I took a short walk in the local woods, still some snow in places.
It rained most of the day on Saturday so I had no photos to post.

Mall to Hampshire

 I was cycling in the afternoon, I started on the trail at the mall and cycled west to marker 164 in Hampshire.

 The trail is in good condition but snow on the side in some places, this snow was just west of the Loyalist road.

I decided that it is time to plant the Gladiolas, I had 50 plus bulbs in the box and planted all of them.
Sunny with light wind with a high of 16  

Bonshaw park.

 I spend the afternoon at the Bonshaw park helping get the trail ready for the Royal visit.

 This squirrel was busy eating spruce cones and not paying any attention to us.

The trail goes very close to the Bonshaw river. A nice day with a high of 16.
