Weather

We made it through winter (I think).

We've been spared the flood waters.

The garden is up & coming ... now, will it survive these frosty nights?

Thankfully, only hardier crops are up so far: peas, spinach, carrots ...

Gratefulness

We are counting our blessings as many along the Assiniboine River are experiencing flooding of their homes and property, we are high 'n' dry. Though we're only 3 miles from the overflowing river, we are situated at quite a high elevation.

And, we figure we're on the right side of the bridge since most of our contacts are on this side of it too. The water keeps rising, slapping against the girders of the bridge. So far, it remains open, but officials are watching it closely. We wonder if it will be closed? Will the structure be compromised? The water is flowing so swiftly ...

Our field garden did have about 4 feet of water in it at the beginning of the spring thaw, but as soon as the frost left the ground the water disappeared - literally within a couple days.

Baby Chicks

This is an exciting day!



The baby chicks have arrived. They are so-o-o-o cute! Ten weeks from now they'll be ready for the oven, via your freezer.

We're taking orders now. First come, first served!

Contact Us to place your order.



It seems the day we get chicks is always cold and windy, 2011 started off the same way.
We met that challenge by putting a "jacket" on the shed so we could keep the temperature at a steady 33 degrees Celsius inside. So far, so good. Praise the Lord!
