Soybeans

checking out the bean field

there are beans growing

Garden Produce

to be able to use our grapes we have to protect them

we hope to make wine

we have lots of slicing beans

the strawberries are yummy

love the everberries

they keep flowering and producing

Back wall

the back wall is out

so we can actually get in there for storage

peaches

the peaches were small

but they worked well

canned peaches and salsa

Metcalfe side trail

Lunch, at left a peak we just descended from

and the next peak we are going to

there is a trail around that's easy

but the difficult route is so much more fun

it takes more effort when you're shorter

Tris with his long legs had no problem at all

You could feel the cold

other people told us they'd still found ice in the caves

cool braided tree

almost there

Duncan Area Loop

This loop has all things

a pasture

crevices

views

rocks

we went hiking with 5

a bench at a nice view

love the green and the rocks

finding our way down

not much water in the waterfall

Beef

In July some beef animals from the neighbour 8km away went missing

1 showed up at our farm and was returned, as of yesterday

still 8 missing, but he has a general idea where they are

Dig up the feeding Alley

The feeding alley for the goats is disappearing

swinging the excavator

he's having fun

piling the cement

It will be a very useful coverall

Plant a bush

for my birthday I got a butterfly bush

we planted it by the pond

seems like a good spot for it

Summer Pasture

For the dry cows and pregnant heifers

the door to the pasture is almost always open

But see where they are, inside!

Cows like cool weather and will stay inside

even when the door is open

they wait until late in the afternoon 

then they go out

Wild Turkeys

in the Spring we saw a nest

lots of eggs

now on our wildlife camera this week

lots of turkeys
