More Rain

 

It was actually a very nice day

just to be forgotten by the ending

thunder and lightning stopped the soccer game after 15 minutes

 

we had coffee in Moorefield and heard the pounding rain

 driving home we saw lighter skies above Palmerston

 

John Henry Klaassen took this picture in Moorefield

enough said

a Rainy Sunday

 

 

Rain for the whole day, so the church picnic was indoors

we didn't stay for the picnic because we had a neighbourhood picnic

 

our neighbours had rented a tent for the weekend

 

and had home made donuts

 

 

they also have free range pigs

 

 

apparently they stay around the yard

Bruce trail 6th line Nassagawye to south of Acton

 

 

Most of the day we were in the bush

 

we had a snack on top of the ridge and heard gravel trucks rumbling by

 

 

first we thought we heard a huge waterfall

but it was a stone crusher

 

The plant were all dusted

 

we met this guy on a bike!

Don't think you are allowed biking on the Bruce Trail

 

pretty mushrooms

 

and lots of mosquitoes, I have the bites to prove it

trying not to itch 

hedge trim

 

It is June, so time to trim the hedge

it doesn't take that long but you just got to do it

 

only a few corn plants are little

they were frozen a while ago

Barn Skeleton

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cut the bottom with the chain saw

(a pail of water is in the neighbourhood)

 

a few swings with the hammer to loosen the planks

 

 

but not to powerful a swing, this barn is not so sturdy

 

loosen the plank

 

Flip to the inside

 

 

not every plank stays in one piece

 

 

get the nails out, stack on the Skid Steer

 

 

 

slowly the skeleton becomes more visible

Home Made wooden Games

 

At a shower we played some unique games

a big wooden word making game

 

stacking and taking away blocks

 

and a form of Mexican Train

Summer Weekend

 

It promissed to be a warm evening on Saturday,

so we had a wiener roast

 

Sunday afternoon we went for a hike

 

Snyder's Flat

 

beside the Grand River near Bloomingdale

 

 

Baptism

 

In anticipation of Elijah's baptism

we already took this picture in May

 

He will be baptised today

A shower and an anniversary

 

On Thursday evening we got to meet Brett

what a sweet baby and a glowing mom

On Friday evening we celebrated 

 

 

40 years with Jim and Annette

 

Around the Farm

 

Adam is playing in the pasture

 

 

 

It's nicely organised in piles and the topsoil comes over all

 

Rien is trying to figure out how to get the long barnboards off

 

 

 

Canadian nails are stubborn, twisted, they last long

 

 

It only goes slightly better from the inside

 

The floor is bad, we have some holes covered

 

This one has a bale over top

 

Today is our anniversary and the beauty bush is flowering again
