Interior Planner



 
Virginia Warwick from Exeter came out to teach us about
interior planning

 
Looking at balance, colour, triangle and layering
 
 
we could also bring something from home
I brought a picture of oma's kastje (Dresser)
Virginia suggested I put round plates above so the round mirror
shape comes back

 
Trying to fit paint and other colour items



 
The bib bible seemed to fit in everyone's set-up



 
items brought together with this pillow
 
 
So, I came home and tried it out
it does look better
and with items we already own

Osprey

Took the side road to see if the Ospreys were on the nest
 
 
One just flew away

 
taken through the dark part of the car window

 
the other was on the nest

Moving the Generator

 
Temporarily the generator is moved...

 
...into the garage

 
connected again, so we are still prepared for power problems

Temporary Bin


 
We have a temporary Bin by the bunk silos


 
Had to make sure the TMR mixer fits underneath

a little Rain

in the bible Rain is always a blessing,
Israel is so dry, when you have been there you understand
 
Job 5: He provides rain for the earth;
    he sends water on the countryside.
 
 
This time it was a real blessing here too
It was raining while the sun was going down

 
The Rainbow is also in the bible
 
not only in Genesis 9
 but also in heaven in Revelation 4 and 10

Back Shed

 
First the bin left

 
Then it was the back Shed
 
 
After lots of nails pulled
 

 
and more clean-up

 
finally Rien's favourite part

 
the chainsaw

 
Marc lifts him up

 
and Rien attacks the trusses

 
more clean-up to follow
 
 
Success (for this corner)

Big Ass Fan

 
A Fan blade was hanging down in the morning
It had not been running during the night

 
 we took the opposite blade out too so we can still run the fan
It is under warranty

 
Because we had to work on the fan anyway, we decided to clean both fans
standing in the bucket of the loader tractor

Late Frost

 
Rien had seen a white spot in the pasture

 
enjoyed the cows on my walk over to the white spot

 
saw already some signs of frost on the way

The waterline has a small leak

 
and it must have been cold enough to freeze

 
Now (8AM) it's not anymore

 
but there is quite a layer of ice

 
loving the early morning sun

 
went to look at the corn
the dark plants look glazed, that's not a good look

 
only on the edge of the field behind the hedge (we hope)

Ontario Badlands

 
We went to the Ontario Badlands

 
the 2 unknown girls took a group picture for us,
but not on my camera

 
one can can make the picture look bad

 
Picked it up

 
Hi Jessica

 
Took some extra pictures

 
After this month the badlands will be closed

 
to preserve this site
even though (as Olga noticed) it was formed by erosion

 
They were working at the fence
kind of sad we won't be able to walk there anymore
