Catch The Moment Week #21 May 21–27, 2014

Lots going on around here this week.  We planted sweet corn, brown and golden flax and started our soybeans.  We were shut down for a day or 2 due to rain, but for the most part it was a smooth sailing week!

 

Day-142

The boys played with their niece on the ‘sand hill’ in the afternoon.  Mollie-Jayne was not thrilled with the sand.  She cried most of the time she was touching it. 

Day-143

These 2 make me laugh.  Sven (left) & Ricardo (right) were vacuuming out the drill.  We were switching from brown flax to golden flax so everything had to be super clean.  They thought it was so funny I was taking their picture.  Sven is here from South Africa and Ricardo is from Brazil.  They will be with us until November. 

Day-144

Break downs are normal on a farm.  Today it was the rock picker.  Mick was welding the piece that holds the axle on. 

Day-145

We went to Hannah to mow the yard where the guys will be staying.  This was the sunset as we finished. 

Day-146

We planted lots of sweet corn – 3 varieties!  The guys are checking for proper spacing and depth.  A few adjustments were made and many rows were planted!

Day-147

We had a beautiful night for supper in the field.  Brett was having so much fun kicking up dust with no shoes.

Day-148

A local bar and grill started serving food again!  I picked up Indian tacos for supper, they are bread dough disks fried with taco fixings on top.  They did a great job for their first night serving food!  Ricardo had a good seat in the tire.  It was pretty windy that night.
