My Day-To-Day Photos

Setting my sights on a new goal has my attention focused elsewhere, and as such, my day-to-day blog has suffered some. So get ready for a photo-heavy post.   As far as we know, the kiddos are both doing well in school.  Kaitlynn is as last year, excited and working hard. Jared's approach is less enthusiastic. He really does not like having the Grade 4's in his classroom and now they may have to have gym class with the Grade 3's tossed in. He is not interested, though in transferring schools to be among more kids his own age. He's excited for high school where things will be normal. I  hope he has the same shift in attitude that Kaitlynn experienced.   Jared wasn't really looking overly forward to his overnight canoe trip, but he ended up having a really good time and is looking forward to his week-long camping trip in the Spring.   Our Fall has been a beautiful one. The mild temperatures, it's October 4th and we still haven't had a major frost,...

Kaitlynn continues to be her crazy, entertaining self.  She spent a lot of this past sporting an Edward Cullen mask.  Creepy as hell, and hilarious at the same time. I'm not sure what the plan is, but several of the masks have made their way to school this morning.   I was feeling quite rundown yesterday, with a sore throat, so I tried to take it easy. Jared was also extra-tired and had a nice long nap midday and he went to bed early. He seems fine this morning.   The yard, although everything is drying up, looks lovely. The early morning and evenings are my favourite time to go out and have a walk around.   Harvest is sailing right along, although as of today, they will be feeling the pressure.  Rain is on the horizon, and there are still 5 quarters to do before the flax - 2 of oats, which they hopefully finish today and 3 of canola. They're definitely not in bad shape, but it would be fantastic if they could get all 5 off before any major rai...

Harvest is going reasonably well.  Sure, it would be fantastic to get through a season without a breakdown, but I'm fairly certain that has never happened in the history of ever. Mom managed to swallow a rock with her combine last night, but the parts are in Yorkton, and the damage isn't extensive although it looks terrible. The machine should be up and running this afternoon. It does make for more stressful morning, and to top it off, Todd got a major flat tire on his car this morning. So I guess I will be tire shopping next week.   Kaitlynn has really been enjoying being back in school. Homework started on the second day and she is working on several subjects this Saturday morning. Jared is finding things "boring" he says. It seems if he's not reading Manga or playing computer games, he's bored. Not too sure what to do with him.   I spent some time in the field with my Handsome.  Waiting quite a long time between loads, it seemed he could use the co...

Here are couple of my favourite things piled up into one spot. One of my other favourites is downstairs, still sleeping at 11am!!! - Sophie stayed over, so that explains that. My other favourite is out in the fields doing what farmers do. Love to all my favourites - you know who you are!
