Ruins at Spirit Rock

Spiral staicase

a very slow snake

and then suddenly quick to launch

a bit more pasture

Colpoys Bay, used to be a mill here

very green corn

no frost here close to the lakes

Hike north of Wiarton

we waited for the hail and rain to stop

before venturing out

still some rain on Colpoyse Bay

pretty colours

the sky looks better

this section is a bit rocky so quite slippery 

beautiful view

 Glad we went hiking

Red Oak

Apples pressed

we went to have our apples pressed

same spot as the last few years

someone had given them some cider to try

not having a corkscrew, he put a screw in the cork 

we're also trying to make some apple cider

in our basement

A big Bunk silo

marc has been working for the custom Worker

in the neighbours large corn field

dump in front of the silo

dump looks small when the silo is this big

lots of middle

not many walls

Bush Wacker result

it's a slow job

but it's almost done

working close to the pond

Rien removes some wood with nails

the wildflowers are loaded with bees

New U

I started at New U

different team training all the time

but m,ost of them make me use muscles I didn't know I had

looking for the lightest

Soyabean harvest

It's time

the beans are coming off

before the corn

 the corn was planted late but the beans regular time

they were running better then we expected

hard to predict how much there is

not many places the beans were in top 

but apparently there were enough lower on the bush

in the truck

we sold them right away

winter wheat got planted in the late evening

in the same fields that were harvested

Cultivating

after years of no-till

our cultivator is used more this year

the whole schoolhouse farm is done

ending last night close to the pretty trees
