Trout Fishing in a Hailstorm with the Baird Brothers - My Spring Food Forest Awakening

Trout Fishing in a Hailstorm with the Baird Brothers - My Spring Food Forest Awakening

video description

Rating: 4.7; Vote: 4
Cali and I travel to Algonquin Park to trout fish, canoe and camp with Jiom and Ted Baird. The first day is hot and sunny but that changes over night and the second day brings hail and rain. The fishing is as good as usual for brook trout on both days. Back at the homestead, I plant more fruit trees and watch as the trees flower and the perennials emerge from the warming soil. A barred owl feeds its chicks in a nearby hollow tree while other wildlife search for food and build their own nests.

I never fished in hail before but how beautiful! And what a perfect Owl’s nest indeed! So beautiful the Spring! My Mother had a cross stitch piece she’d made that hung in our kitchen and what it said stays with me always. It said: Come in the spring on a bluebirds wing. Come in the fall by the garden wall. Simple but it always warmed my heart thinking about family, gardens, birds and home. Kind Thanks for sharing all the magnificent beauty of hearth, home, forest, garden and of course, Cali James! Many Blessings with Peace, Abundance and Joy of Being! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

That was a nice fishing trip, weather wasn’t perfect didn’t seem to bother anyone. Cali had a great time tried her hand in fishing a couple times with her head in the water. I got a kick out of her when she fell asleep in the canoe she once let out a little She is one amazing, smart, dog Shawn thanks to you talking to her teaching her with love, kindness, it certainly has paid off. Enjoyed the vi the video so relaxing, great job as always. You never disappoint Shawn. Thanks for sharing, appreciated, it’s my relaxing time.

Thanks Shawn. I just got back from Algonquin yesterday. I had a heck of time getting out of Tom Thompson Lake due to the quite sturdy Beaver Dam. I got across the HARD way. lol I felt good being able to get from the Canoe Lake access point out to Tom Thompson for several nights solo at age 60, although it would have been easier 20 years ago. All the best from Pennsylvania.

The Red Headed Woodpecker, the Barred Owl, and the silly chipmunk are all so charming. I love seeing the birds, and hearing the Loons call. Thank you for this video as well as all the others. Cali is such a sweetheart. She sure got tired on the trip.
I'm glad you got to be with your friends, Shawn. It was a fun trip I'm sure.

Callie there is a saying from my neck of the woods that states If you own a dog and watch their behaviour when you are feeling tiresome, reflect on how they feel taken out of their environment. and by what this video has shown us armchair enthusiasts, you have the patience of a Saint, as nothing seems to phase you.

Gardener's hint - when planting trees, keep the soil carefully and replace it in the manner it came out - with the more aerobic microbes in the topsoil and the less aerobic microbe in the bottom soil. No die-off and more early growth on the fruit trees.

If I hadn’t actually seen that owl turn its head and look at us I don’t think I would’ve even spotted it, but I still would’ve been mesmerized by the beauty of the Forest. You are such a good steward to the land and to its inhabitants.

I've fished and camped in the summer in the exact same topography. Those floating bogs and rivers connecting back lakes, but my friend brings an old 2hp motor that attaches to canoe that uses about 1l of gas for the trip lol. Sorry, not sorry: )

Beautiful nature and very nice that you three, after so many years of knowing each other, are still friends and do tours together. Very nice. Super. Stay healthy and take good care of yourselves. Greetings from Frankfurt.

If you decide in a few years meat and berries aren't enough and you've used all your hard made garden spots for fruit trees, it is going to suck having to start over again developing soil.
reply

Nice video, great fishing, an apple grower told me that my apple trees might be failing because I used metal post instead of wood to hold them up. Thanks for the video.
reply

As black as that soil is if a man had a peg leg and walked through your garden, he would sprout peaches for sure. also is your golden retriever's name Calie or Kelly
reply

Wow, great video! More like this. Love to watch you work on the homestead, and with these types of video you create a good balance of work and leisure.
reply

Well Shawn another great video I really enjoyed it! Couldn't help to think how bad the ticks were on your trip They're really bad here in Minnesota.
reply

What an abundance of nice blossoms! It’s working just as planned. Hint, you might need to tighten up the edit where one of the Bairds slips one out.
reply

Slaving herewon’t explainjust a lousy month of busy. This video is my escape and celebration as all has ended well.
reply

gorgeous Owl. let's you know without doubt that you have little critters in abundance around. beware of the mice and such

23: 01 Mr. James, don't twirl the roots but lay them out laterally, otherwise they'll get root bound and hinder the growth.
