Conor and Dad Bridge Walk - Fun at the River

A bridge walk is a good work out for Dad as I struggle to keep up with Conor. Fortunately for Dad, Conor takes time out for fun at the River, climbing and strolling along a small wall and, of course, throwing rocks in the River - the Saint John River.

Conor and Dad Get Outdoors YAY! Friday, April 17 09

Conor and Dad get outdoors, yay!

It was a long, hard winter this year and Friday was very warm and mild. It was great getting out on the trail with Conor again. Unlike Dad, Conor put on no winter weight. Here's a few pics of Conor; no need to show Dad trying to keep up.

Conor and Dad's First Spring Trail Walk - Sort Of





After a long winter I have been trying to get out walking on the trail system with Conor. Today we got out for a very, very short walk when the cold wind by the river persuaded us to try again tomorrow. Still it was nice to get out in the fresh air. The gentleman playing the horn in the pictures below wasn't phased at all by the weather. Conor had other ideas though, like heading home and getting warm.

Fredericton Flood Redux?

The sump pump has been busy in the Doherty house in Fredericton (Nashwaaksis).

We took turns, including shifts last night, managing the water flow in the basement which has been receiving water the past week. The police dropped off Emergency Measures Organization flood planning information.

This evening I took a brief walk around the end of our street closest to the Saint John River and on the North Riverfront Trail near our home. The water has started to come up over the trail and over the back yard of a neighbor's yard a couple of houses down across the street. Hopefully Fredericton is not in for another flood like last year. There has been a lot of snow fall this winter and the CBC reports there have been ice jams up river on the Saint John, the Nashwaak and some other New Brunswick Rivers.

Time will tell.
