Located in Central BC. Tuesday, 30 August 2011. Rainy days sums up most of the summer. Lots of water for the garden, the hay and the pastures. Everything grew, but slowly and the hay couldn't be harvested until three weeks later than usual. We are still at it. Matty saddling up Tango all by herself and galloping through the newly cut hay fields while Tango thoroughly enjoyed watching all the activity. Driving the hay truck at dusk with it being loaded without me by Peter, Petra, Matty and Georgie. Realiz...

Located in Central BC. Thursday, 19 May 2011. For now it is warm and the rain has stopped after giving us 3 to 4 inches in the last 10 days. The sun is setting after 9pm now giving us the long days that always end in the kids going what? How can it be bed time already? They know me and the older cows and bulls know the routines of the seasons. Right now, the bulls are fully aware that they are getting ripped off! 65279;. 65279;. Labels: bc farm life.

@ Garrendenny: January 2012
http://garrendenny.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Located in Central BC. Wednesday, 18 January 2012. Matty in her snow cave she made. Its cold. At least I consider -31c cold. Before I moved to Pr. George, I had lived a sheltered life in Victoria and Vancouver. The coldest it had got in Victoria was -9c and I had snow on Christmas when I was 12 and that was it! The kids are used to being outside in the cold. They were all born here and this is just what happens in the winter. But sometimes they can be so dumb! Georgie and Henry in their snow cave.

Located in Central BC. Wednesday, 21 March 2012. I walked by a golf ball today, a yellow one, under the camper. The first golf balls we found on our farm were on the field just north of the house and we had assumed that our tenant's kid had stood on the small hill and hit some golf balls into the field. I think the kids even found a discarded golf club in one of the outbuildings. So a golf ball - no big deal. And we are actually very close (as the. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Located in Central BC. Monday, 6 February 2012. Being a Hockey Mom. I'm well into the fourth year of kids in minor hockey and my whole attitude towards hockey has changed so much since the first year. My kids play hockey in a recreational league, that is, there are teams, real hockey rules, games, playoffs etc. but there is no physical checking and no one playing in this division is going to be an NHL, WHL or probably not a BCHL player. In Pr George, there is several different divisions of hockey:. At th...

They look good, John rotovated us an addition to our garden because we had so many seedlings to plant and ran out of room. Then Matty and I were checking out our larger plants and WOW! We have itsy bitsy cauliflower heads, broccoli heads, miniscule brussel sprouts and tiny kholrabi's. Absolutely amazing! Labels: bc farm life.

@ Garrendenny: Real men don't eat quiche.
http://garrendenny.blogspot.com/2011/07/real-men-dont-eat-quiche.html
Located in Central BC. Friday, 29 July 2011. Real men don't eat quiche. Yes there was a book that was published in 1982 with that name. I never read it, but I remember my older sisters talking about it. The fact is that people thought that men were fast losing their masculinity then, what about now? In my opinion, if a man is not as tough or masculine as me, a middle aged woman, then he has, in fact, lost his masculinity. REAL MEN DO NOT EVER WEAR A FANNY PACK! Really, WHAT were you thinking? Real men do...
