Happenings since mid- April...

Missy is here to help me get pictures and words where they belong. But she is going to use the html mode. Okay here goes nothing.
Jen said in her installment of Campbell River Park that I would have pictures so here are a few:







When we arrived home after our nice stay with Jen & Karen's families we were very pleasantly surprised with this-


And we see a furry friend once in a while too: and yes there was snow on the ground yet and it even snowed like 1/2 an hour after we got home. What is it with us and snow :)

Shortly after that we went on another outing, to a Mother's Day tea that Amber invited me to, and Dad was my willing and handsome(?)chauffeur.

The Mommys and Grandmommys got to have tea and eat good food and enjoy the entertainment
The entertainers were beating their instruments to the beat of Jeopardy. Nicely done Amber!

Then we thought we were getting a dog but alas he only stayed the weekend before his owner demanded him back. Too bad too because he was a calm and older dog. Not meant to be though.


We are getting bunker #2 constructed. The floor was poured on Fri. the wall this week hopefully.


Our tree went from no blossoms to full of blossoms overnight. It is very nice to see. (Missy was fiddling around with my camera and changed the aperture but the close up is blurry and the further away is clear) The grass also went from brown to green very fast. We mowed for the first time on May 14 and will have to mow weekly for the next little bit, till it dries out again. We had rain Sunday night and right now it is cloudy and looks like rain but not yet. It is good news for the grain farmers since they just or almost finished planting their seed so now the rain would be a welcome sight. Our manure is getting spread as I write and then the barley will get planted shortly thereafter.


Bentley has been spending some time here since Missy has taken to driving the Co-op truck for the bread run 2 times a week. But yesterday she was here because her daddy is working at opening some sections on the north side of the main barn for more air flow. It is the plan to have doors that will open in Spring and be closed in winter. Bentley & Damon, for a bit too, had fun on the deck yesterday.


And of course you all saw the roof and what wind can do. It has plastic on it but no quote has come to us yet so we still wait for service. I guess they are just too busy to be bothered by a little job like this. It doesn't help that a long weekend was in there too. I think Dad will call today to see who will do it. Insurance has given us money to replace the whole roof so that is nice especially since Dad was planning on having it done last year but for whatever reason, I can't remember why, it wasn't done.
Hope this post is satisfactory and I will try not to wait so long next time. Have a great day, week, month!
