Other things

House building was not the only thing happening at our place this week. With the return of sunny hot, dry weather came the return to seeding. We still had a lot of acres that needed seeding and we went hard this week, and by Thursday night we could say---SEEDING FINISHED! We planted the canola and soybeans and a field of flax, and Erik covered a lot of ground per day.

Along with the seeding it was time to do some spraying as well, and Kerry spent many hours doing just thatand also covering a lot of acres per day.

And back at the house they did some trenching through the dike to lay water lines to the pond. Erik is getting to be quite good at operating different kinds of equipment.

The view from our living room window, facing east. We will be able to see the sunrise over our pond.

I put more stuff into my garden this week as well, finishing up the seeding and putting out some plants, yep, even the tomatoes. It is the long weekend after all. I also had to mow the grass a couple of times, and I tilled the garden. I enjoyed time with the grandkids and got some laundry and baking done. It's been a good week, busy, but good!

Looking good, great progress all around! I think you've had better weather than us lately! Nothing but rain here last week. Maybe we'll get better in Cancun!

You'll have to lower the dike so you can see the pond.
