Corn Silage

 
The last 6 rows

 
the last plants chopped

 
the last dump

 
getting late the sky is turning pink

 
Supper "in the field"
 
last night we did the plastic, the bags and 2 rounds of tires

 
this morning we finished putting the tires on
 

 
and Marc is driving truck again today
His schedule of late is: school, driving truck and sleep...repeat...

Corn Harvest

 
Rien is moving haylage

 
and corn silage from the next silo

 
to make room for the new crop
and this way it has time to ferment before we have to use it

 
Greg and Marc working beside one another

 
easy taking pictures when you are this close

 
Kyle on the harvester

Blood Moon

 
We sat outside waiting for the eclipse

 
first it's just a bite out of the moon

 
 
 
the closer to full eclipse the more red or as they call it
a blood moon

Bruce Trail west and east of Walter's Falls

 
starting Eat of Walter's Falls, when it was still a bit chilly

 
but it warmed up fast

end of Beaver Valley start of Sydenham section
 

 

 
even dry leaves can look pretty

 
Antea's Waterfall

 
very cold water, quite refreshing
so nice that the mosquitoes are done
 
 
West of Walter's Falls we hiked 4 1/2 km road
 
 
road is not as much fun and hurt our knees and we get blisters easier
so we try to mix it in with the "good" parts

Mapleton Organic

 
we went with the Ag-women group to Mapleton Organic

 
the cows are real up close

 
Arla the herd manager
 

 
just like us they have a voluntary milking system

 
they have a barn where there are pigs, calves, and chickens

and some turkeys
it's not a petting zoo but to teach about farming
 
 
This teaches crop rotation
 

 

 
besides ice-cream they have yoghurt

 
saw some coffee-Break friends

 
bought some specialty ice cream
dandelion, pumpkin and chai
we ate the dandelion already yummy!!

Picking Stones

 
We started before breakfast

 
might as well work on our memory verses

 
we have each 3 recipe cards double sided

 
Found a horse shoe

 
and a vice grip

 
and lot, lots, lots of stones
