Soccer is starting

First soccer practise, the fields are green.

a few Trees less

We did lose some trees during the storm

High wind

A storm came up quickly. First dust and then a very strong wind
The screens blew out of our veranda


The power was out for 27 hours

It sure looked like Tornado weather and I used the word for a game of hang-man but Marc didn't guess it.

Our Neighbours had their shed blow off the foundation, over the house. The shed used to be where the big hay bales are.

The hydro crews were busy lots of new poles got up quickly

Ditch Clean-up

Les Amis cleaned up the ditch between Drayton and Moorefield

It was a great day for it. Others groups were going towards Palmerston and a group here that went towards Moorefield.


We met at the trucks when we were almost done

We found some bottles too.

Seeding

Barley and alfalfa

It is threatening to rain

Farmers hang-out

You can even "hang-out" at Eric's when he's not there

Puddle victim

The Guideposts fell in a puddle under the mailbox

Picture Perfect

We picture our calf for registration
It is not always easy


Finally, Perfect!

Balancing act

All Ontario Coffee Break Rally Drama: How to keep our "plates" in balance. The plates were: Husband, work, child, volunteer work, sports / Gym, help sibling, help aging parents.

We talked about the plates that we try to juggle ourselves and the plate(s) that we would like to eliminate from our lives.

I'm OK at the moment

Later a real time juggler did a plate balancing act.

All songs and speakers were interpreted for the deaf.
See also the beautiful plants at the stage. I saw some well know last names by the greenhouse donations.

First Campfire

We burned the Christmas tree!

Screened in

I put the screens in our porch's windowsills again.

Rien is spreading fertilizer

Early Spring jobs

Rien is spreading solid manure

Marc is going over the pasture with the harrows yesterday after school.
Today he went to school in shorts.
It will be close to 20C but it was -1C this morning

Cows on the loose

When I picked up Marc from drum lessons I met these young cows. At the same time 4 of our own cows had departed the barn as well. Luckily they walked back in the barn by themselves.

Rototilling

First job in the garden

Now the crocuses look happy

Matzaball soup

We had a Passover Seder with our family.

Food, Fun & Fellowship

Passover

It is Passover, but we will celebrate on Monday, we have the Cantata tonight in Floradale

Rising Temperatures

It will take a while for the snow to disappear.

The snow blower is off the tractor so Rien "piled it up".
