Worms


a tour at the worm business 


worms are fed and given dirt to stay healthy


lots of big fat healthy night crawlers or dew worms


stacking so every box gets light in, to keep the worms in the boxes


recycled cardboard, food for the worms


millions of worms in the cooler



these are baby European worms


faster, smaller and able to breed on farms
a ring like this means it's an adult


It was a very interesting field trip

Drayton House Tour


The first house was owned by a John Deere fan



nice decorations at this place


2 of the houses had quilts


the tour was organized by the United Church



some "natural ornaments at the DeVries'


and an inviting table


blue / white somehow makes it softer


I liked the way they used this blackboard

It was Moria and me today


I saw a picture of these falls taken by a drone a few weeks ago
stunning!



a bit slippery up there


Start of DeCew Falls
looked like hydro involvement


the Mill

Hoggs Falls Area


the frost helped make the start less muddy




we decided to form a human chain


made it to the other side without getting wet



love this part of the trail


so many nice unnamed waterfalls in this area


this one is named:
Hogg Falls


you can go down by means of a rope

and we love to sing before bible study

Arrival of our Voluntary Milking System


Yesterday a truck arrived


carrying 2 Lely Astronauts A4


Soon we will get some building going


funny thing is that the same driver brought the A3 next
7 1/2 years ago

Bruce trail Beaver Valley Ski Area


we parked the first car at the top of this abandoned ski hill


We started at -4C and ended around 0C


This is a pretty cool spot


it was a cool kind of day
but the sun regularly appeared


for quite a while we hiked on the ski slopes


ready for the season I put the camera on a machine and took this picture



sometimes the trail was quite muddy
but usually like this


there was way more water then I anticipated
