It starts out Foggy

 
We are hoping for a nice week
the straw has been in the field 3 weeks

 
we cut for haylage and for hay

 
the forecast is promising

 
but it starts off foggy, so it is very wet

Shed & Lane

 
The doors are being installed

 
See through, may be nice especially in the winter
 
 
It looks almost done

 
This is where the leftovers from the bank barn are useful
a base for the widening of our lane

 
there was a victim, a maple tree that Rien liked very much

 
This is where the barn used to be

Rain in Algonquin

 
Algonquin Park is beautiful, even when it rains

Chipmunk

 
We always try to bring peanuts

 
for these little critters

 
they get pretty brave

 
even taking the peanuts right out of your mouth

 
mixed blessing

 
Let's see if we can make a selfie doing that
