Cottage time

We went out to the cottage last weekend to open up. We got the water and sewer systems going and the hot tub filled. Erik and Amber and girls, as well as Ray and Kim were up there too. There was a new stove put into the kitchen, and some cleaning done, but there was also time for relaxing too. Seeing as how it was fishing season opener, there was plenty of time spent fishing too. Sometimes from the dock, other times going out in the boat, and there were some fish caught and most of them were released back to where they came from to grow some more. The weather was cool, and breezy, but Sunday got to be pretty nice. Just when it is time to head back home, but it was a nice break before the busy seeding time.

Hailey also found fun things to do. Playing with her sister in the hot tub, making faces for gramma, and fishing were good pastimes. She enjoyed fishing from the dock with daddy, and going out in the boat a couple of times. She caught some fish too and was pretty proud of that. She also enjoyed sitting on the love seat in the screen porch reading with gramma, she with her book, and gramma with her nice thick one, side by side, enjoying each other and their books.

Madda found plenty to do at the cottage, especially outside. From the swings to the sand where it was lots of fun to build sand castles, and of course, getting water out of the lake. And then there was the fun with the minnows. Daddy and Mommy fished them out of the lake and the girls played. Madda had lots of fun fishing them out of the buckets and letting them flip around on her hand, or transferring them to another bucket. It is such fun to watch them be enthralled with these type of things. Seeing the world through the eyes of a child......

Worms

Papa Kerry needed some worms for fishing and so he and Jayda went on a hunt for some. Jayda is always a willing helper when it comes to finding worms. The flower bed was a good place to look and yielded some fat ones.

Seeding

Seeding is underway ---finally, and only on the fields that didn't have flood water, or at least not too much flood water. It is tough to be patient but it does feel good to get some seeding done. Seems we have to work against the calendar. We have got about 600 acres seeded so far some of it to canola, some soybeans, and some wheat. The weekend rain will mean more patience again. We have been very thankful for the low humidities and warm temperatures that we enjoyed last week.
