Lifestock trailer painted red

 

Marc has been working many hours on the lifestock trailer

 

finally it is ready to be painted

 

everywhere in the shop there is a layer of the old red paint

 

the new one is brighter

 

may fit better with our truck

and will likely last longer

Marc has Wheels

 

Marc picked up his wheels

 

 

a Chevy Silverado

Hope he will drive it for many years

 

Up to Tobermory, Bruce trail

 

Finishing a piece on the road for only 3km north of Lion's Head

 

Saw some nice cottages

 

We've walked very few km on the road this year

 

for 3 km we didn't need our gear

 

We drove to Tobermory for the last 7km of the trail

 putting on a backpack for this part

 

finally a nice snake picture

 

A guy with a camera came by and we asked him to take a picture

 

last few steps for these 2 ladies

 

They did the whole Bruce trail in 4 seasons

congratulations!

 

We keep hiking, but a little closer to home now

Walkerton

We were in Walkerton for Marc's road test

yes, we have a new licenced driver in the family

 

Behind the Licence Office is a dam, we had a few minutes to spare

 

so we took a closer look

Fieldwork at the neighbours

 

 

Eric & Trevor putting in a new drain last week

 

Today we dropped by in Cliffort, beans being combined

 

and winter wheat planted

 

Marc went for a ride with Trevor

 

Must feel good to get fieldwork done

Building Wrap Up for the Week

 

Measure and call and hoping the posts are in the right spot

 

Next week it will really start to look like a barn

 

While we were harvesting we had people excavating and pouring cement

and people making sure the slats were level

 

 

amazing so many people all working at our farm

 

Friday less hectic but still some building going on

and some excavating

Closing the Silo

 

 

 

Fog is a blessing, even cold fog

 

 

Rolling out plastic without having to put temporary tires on it

 

we could start right away with the bags and the tires in place

 

 

 

Later the sun came out but still not much problems with the wind

 

 

because we started both silos during the fog

 

Throwing on some more tires

 

I like the background of this picture

 

Rien is standing between the silos

Corn Silage

 

It was time to fill up our bunk silo

 

Due to the construction it was very busy in our yard

 

 

 

So we started with the back field

One silo was done by Greg

 

the weight still has the smiley face on it

 

The other silo was done by Marc

 

The idea was 3 loads for Greg 2 load for Marc

the silos are different sizes

 

We had a visit form a photographer friend

She took some great pictures with her very heavy camera

The sun was perfect at this time of day

 

I took some too

 

Just because I do it every year

 

looks full to me

 

time for the next load
