Corn Silage

 

The last 6 rows

 

the last plants chopped

 

the last dump

 

getting late the sky is turning pink

 

Supper "in the field"

 

last night we did the plastic, the bags and 2 rounds of tires

 

this morning we finished putting the tires on

 

 

and Marc is driving truck again today

His schedule of late is: school, driving truck and sleep...repeat...

Corn Harvest

 

Rien is moving haylage

 

and corn silage from the next silo

 

to make room for the new crop

and this way it has time to ferment before we have to use it

 

Greg and Marc working beside one another

 

easy taking pictures when you are this close

 

Kyle on the harvester

Fall Fotos

 

The colours are not as nice this year

 

but if you do have time to drive around there are still some beauties

 

prime time near sunset

 

the beans do look good

 

all the way to the top

 

very pretty sky

Blood Moon

 

We sat outside waiting for the eclipse

 

first it's just a bite out of the moon

 

 

 

the closer to full eclipse the more red or as they call it

a blood moon

Bruce Trail west and east of Walter's Falls

 

starting Eat of Walter's Falls, when it was still a bit chilly

 

but it warmed up fast

end of Beaver Valley start of Sydenham section

 

 

 

even dry leaves can look pretty

 

Antea's Waterfall

 

very cold water, quite refreshing

so nice that the mosquitoes are done

 

 

West of Walter's Falls we hiked 4 1/2 km road

 

 

road is not as much fun and hurt our knees and we get blisters easier

so we try to mix it in with the "good" parts

 

Mapleton Organic

 

we went with the Ag-women group to Mapleton Organic

 

the cows are real up close

 

Arla the herd manager

 

 

just like us they have a voluntary milking system

 

they have a barn where there are pigs, calves, and chickens

and some turkeys

it's not a petting zoo but to teach about farming

 

 

This teaches crop rotation

 

 

 

besides ice-cream they have yoghurt

 

saw some coffee-Break friends

 

bought some specialty ice cream

dandelion, pumpkin and chai

we ate the dandelion already yummy!!

Picking Stones

 

We started before breakfast

 

might as well work on our memory verses

 

we have each 3 recipe cards double sided

 

Found a horse shoe

 

and a vice grip

 

and lot, lots, lots of stones
