Growing Season

 

smelling nice

 

Potatoes are up

 

spinach almost ready to eat

 

we are now able to look through the Shed

 

Lilacs in full bloom

 

potential for lots of flowers in the coming weeks

Interior Planner

 

Virginia Warwick from Exeter came out to teach us about

interior planning

 

Looking at balance, colour, triangle and layering

 

 

we could also bring something from home

I brought a picture of oma's kastje (Dresser)

Virginia suggested I put round plates above so the round mirror

shape comes back

 

Trying to fit paint and other colour items

 

The bib bible seemed to fit in everyone's set-up

 

items brought together with this pillow

 

 

So, I came home and tried it out

it does look better

and with items we already own

Osprey

Took the side road to see if the Ospreys were on the nest

 

 

One just flew away

 

taken through the dark part of the car window

 

the other was on the nest

Moving the Generator

 

Temporarily the generator is moved...

 

...into the garage

 

connected again, so we are still prepared for power problems

Temporary Bin

 

We have a temporary Bin by the bunk silos

 

Had to make sure the TMR mixer fits underneath

a little Rain

in the bible Rain is always a blessing,

Israel is so dry, when you have been there you understand

 

Job 5: He provides rain for the earth;
    he sends water on the countryside.

 

 

This time it was a real blessing here too

It was raining while the sun was going down

 

The Rainbow is also in the bible

 

not only in Genesis 9

 but also in heaven in Revelation 4 and 10

Back Shed

 

First the bin left

 

Then it was the back Shed

 

 

After lots of nails pulled

 

 

and more clean-up

 

finally Rien's favourite part

 

the chainsaw

 

Marc lifts him up

 

and Rien attacks the trusses

 

more clean-up to follow

 

 

Success (for this corner)

 

Big Ass Fan

 

A Fan blade was hanging down in the morning

It had not been running during the night

 

 we took the opposite blade out too so we can still run the fan

It is under warranty

 

Because we had to work on the fan anyway, we decided to clean both fans

standing in the bucket of the loader tractor

Late Frost

 

Rien had seen a white spot in the pasture

 

enjoyed the cows on my walk over to the white spot

 

saw already some signs of frost on the way

The waterline has a small leak

 

and it must have been cold enough to freeze

 

Now (8AM) it's not anymore

 

but there is quite a layer of ice

 

loving the early morning sun

 

went to look at the corn

the dark plants look glazed, that's not a good look

 

only on the edge of the field behind the hedge (we hope)

 

Ontario Badlands

 

We went to the Ontario Badlands

 

the 2 unknown girls took a group picture for us,

but not on my camera

 

one can can make the picture look bad

 

Picked it up

 

Hi Jessica

 

Took some extra pictures

 

After this month the badlands will be closed

 

to preserve this site

even though (as Olga noticed) it was formed by erosion

 

They were working at the fence

kind of sad we won't be able to walk there anymore
