Cinnamon rolls

Posted on September 30, 2011 by Kathy

We are almost done harvesting.  I think there is less than thirty acres left to go.  It should all be finished tomorrow morning.  So we didn’t quite get finished by the end of September, but almost.  We were doing barley … Continue reading →

Success

Posted on September 29, 2011 by Kathy

Rusty is a shy dog, you may remember.  She greatly dislikes having things pointed at her, and this includes cameras.  In fact, I had just gotten her to sit nicely and look at me when I used my little point … Continue reading →

Sunflowers

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Kathy

We tried to grow a field sunflowers one time.  Actually, it was called sunwheat for some reason.  It didn’t do so well for us, although other people still grow it in places in this province and in other provinces.  Maybe … Continue reading →

Dead trees

Posted on September 27, 2011 by Kathy

One of the heifers was out of the pasture last night.  She seemed to go back in calmly enough, but cows are crafty that way.  They are excellent at discovering openings in a fence.  Since our combine is in town … Continue reading →

Burned

Posted on September 24, 2011 by Kathy

A person with little to no farming experience (namely, some radio hosts who live in cities) will cheerfully say, when reading the weather, that a day like today is perfect harvest weather.  Today it was 31 degrees, dry and windy.  … Continue reading →

Forests

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Kathy

I feel like you may soon be getting tired of seeing tree pictures.  I can’t help it.  They look so pretty, and I was fearful that with the really hard frost we had last week that the leaves would just … Continue reading →

Volunteer Trees

Posted on September 22, 2011 by Kathy

One time, when I was in grade five/six ( I can’t remember, we had the same teachers for two years in a row), we had to do this project on seeds and how they travel.  You know, like burrs latch … Continue reading →

Fall Sky

Posted on September 21, 2011 by Kathy

The dust haze of a few weeks ago has finally left, due to the wind and then a couple rain showers.  That should probably make the allergy sufferers happy, now that they can breathe again.  It is also nice to … Continue reading →
