The Question....

Who is cuter than Emma with the missing 2 front teeth?

I guess we'll have to wait for all the grandkids for the answer.

Українське пиво.... Ukrainian Beer

We picked Roman up at the airport last night in Saint John. He was quite tired after spending almost 24 hours on planes and in airports. But he must have done his homework, as he brought us 3 kinds of beer from his native Ukraine. What a good start to his employment here!

Weekend in Halifax

This past weekend we decided to let the girls play hookey from school and we drove over to Halifax on Friday morning. After a few hours of shopping at the Mic Mac Mall in Dartmouth, we crossed the bridge into Halifax, and did some site seeing. Then out to Jaqueline and Gareth's for supper and a sleepover. It was good to see Anne Marie and Stuart when they came over too.

The next morning brought more shopping, at Bayer's Lake and then into the Halifax Shopping center. Then on to home, but we couldn't resist stopping at Peggy`s Cove, my favourite place to visit in Nova Scotia.

 

 

On Sunday we were still in the touristy mood, so we scooted down and checked out the Hopewell Rocks.

 

Remembrance Day / 2009

Today we gathered again at the Norton Legion to honour and remember our serving and veteran and fallen soldiers. Afterwards we went to Fernhill Cemetary to visit Grandpa's grave (and Grandma's Dad's too). Then on to the Three Mile, for beer and lunch. We stopped at the Cenotaph in Rothesay on the way home.

Grandpa's medals and his ship. Yes, I should have ironed it first.

We placed our poppies and Grandma got a flag.

Carrie is relaxed now, after all her hard work placing wreaths at the legion.

 

На цьому тижні

Для моїй практиці українські, оновлення цього блогу будуть написані українською мовою. Якщо ви хочете побачити його англійською мовою, використання Google перекладач. Як я вже зробив, щоб отримати його українською мовою. Дух. Ми раді, що наш український робітник, Роман, будуть прибувати в наступні вихідні. З України. Він wilol бути тут протягом року, працюючи на нашій фермі.
Наша кури прибула в середу ввечері. Це йшло добре, і вони в settleing красиво. Вони як і раніше дуже тихо, і не станемо всі яйця, поки що, тому не так багато працювати. Я зробив кілька фотографій з них, а мобільний телефон не приймає гарні знімки в курячому сарай.

Я чув, на цьому тижні, що Емма не вистачало наших корів, так що ось фотографія її веселиться в нашому сараї.

A Few People will be Happy

On Tuesday, Jesse and I decided that it was time to fix the front wall of the dairy. Which we destroyed when we installed new cooler last spring.

So we went at it, and although it didn't seem like a big job, it took us till this afternoon. Between pulling calves every time we turned around, and answering the telephone, we got it done.

So who is gonna be happy? Blaine for sure because we finally got a hose port!

And Me because it was one more thing checked off my list of things to do before winter. And TJ, because he lay awake at night wondering if we were ever gonna fix it.

Last Week & Halloween

We had a busy week last week. Washed machinery and put it away. Washed the chicken barn down. After that was done, Sarah and Jesse disinfected and got ready for the new flock. They were supposed to fly in last night, but yesterday afternoon we found out that their flight had been delayed 3 days.

I stirred up the manure pit and spread some manure. I had been worried about that, because the pit had been getting full, the weather colder, and the fields wetter. But after 2 good days on Friday and Saturday, I got over 6 feet out and spread, so that takes the pressure off.

And the Saturday night was Halloween. Carrie and Melissa carved 2 pumpkins. Who did a better job?

Victoria and Brad had their first pumpkin together.

Stacy brought Kara and Bradford over for treats.

Emma, Madilyn, and Sarah got all dressed up. TJ took Emma and Madilyn out Trick or Treating, while Sarah stayed home with Tanya to pass out treats.
