“Rest….And Rejuvenate!”😇 My Actifit Report Card: March 22 2026

in Actifit4 days ago (edited)

“Rest…And Rejuvenate!”😇
This Bulldozer, and one excavator, are all that remain at the lumber clear cut site on Sumas Mountain!
The loggers are almost finished!😊
Silvertop hiked to the ridge top, to try and see how bad the flooding was down in the valley below……………..
Well…….would you look at that, a baby Douglas Fir tree!🤗
We knew that the loggers were going to replant this forest after they were finished, but I didn’t expect the replanting to start till much later!😇
We have heard, that if they replant baby trees, the loggers get a substantial tax break.
That’s probably the only reason they replanted!
This particular logger is planting the bare minimum of trees!🙄
“Westergreen” a logger on the North Eastern side of the Mountain, plants baby trees no more than six feet apart.
“Nielson logging” is planting seedlings six feet apart along any gravel road, (Where they can be checked easily), and over thirty feet apart anywhere else off the road…………….
Hmmm………….🤔
New beginnings for this slice of the Mountain my friends!🤗
Down in the valley below, the river level continues to drop!
If you look closely, you can see some of the rain swollen creeks and streams, are starting to recede as well!😇
Sunday evening………………..
With the heavy rains, It has been a stressful few days my friends!😮
Finally the Sun is shining!😎
Silvertop is heading home to rest, rejuvenate…… and spend some quality time with Liz!😍
Till tomorrow……and new beginnings tomorrow………..
Silvertop Mike😊

I am glad to see that they are doing what they should, but I wish they'd plant each tree just a bit closer together than they are. They might not survive between the lack of moisture later in the summer, or the growth of the weeds which will be pretty prolific, or the wildlife eating them. Time will tell how well the replanting does. 🤗😘😍🌹❤️

Maybe Liz needs to take a hike with a big water bottle and water all these babies!!😇🤣🥰
I will come join you!!!😍

That little tree has a long way to go. 🌱
I had a friend a while ago that went up north to plant trees one summer just for the experience.

!PIZZA

It's actually quite satisfying, and quite relaxing to plant trees!😇😀
I have plenty of baby trees to plant, I guess I get to play in the dirt this month Lol!!🤣

PIZZA!

I hope that you guys had a beautiful Sunday, my friend! It's excellent that you got some sun today! It's great to see them replanting sapling trees, but yeah, they're probably only doing it because of the tax break. It's still good that they're doing it! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

The son that was most welcome it was back again today as well!😎
Hopefully you are getting sunshine as well, someone said that Hawaii's weather in our weather are tied together Lol!😇

That's great, my friend, enjoy every ray if it! Thanks a lot, Mike, and while we did have some sun in the morning, another huge lightning storm came through, dropping another huge amount of rain, which is how the rest of the day was, lots and lots of rain! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I did not know you had lightning storms……..
They were a regular occurrence back in Cincinnati, where we all grew up!
In the Pacific Northwest, they are almost nonexistent!🤔

They are very rare out here, I've only seen a few in the whole 8 years that I've been on the Island, and it's always surprising when they appear! For me too growing up in SW rural NJ, lots and lots of lightning storms! That's how it's been in most places that I've lived, not many lightning storms at all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

When we first moved to the Pacific Northwest I was at work at a new job and a lightning storm started outside......
Everyone stopped work to look out the windows, I couldn't figure out why, but it's because they're so rare!!🤣

I've seen that in some of the areas that I've lived too! I didn't realize until recently that electrical storms are far more common in some areas than others! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

They were extremely common in Cincinnati, but they didn't last long. A storm could blow in, rattle the windows in the house, and be gone in 30 to 45 minutes and the sun would be back!😎😀👍

It's nice to see them replanting the trees already! It's nice to know that the forest will return and the land won't be developed into more houses to crowd your part of the forest! It's too bad it takes so long for those trees to grow into big trees though, decades and decades of growth to come!
!BBH
!PIZZA

It is going to take a long time for it to recover unfortunately....🙄
That's why everyone on our street was so upset when they clear cut this, it will be like this a long time!
