Erin and Seve pay us a visit

With Milton and Atti in school and Joel busy building the new house, Erin decided to take a drive to Alberta to visit relatives and do a little PST-free shopping.
It's not often that we get to spend time with our 3 year old grandson Seve without his brothers.

After explaining horsepower and propulsion we thought it was time to let Seve take the wheel.



Harvest help

According to Stan my job is simple, just get the grain from the combine into the bin.

New-ish vehicle

We recently had the opportunity to buy a slightly experienced Honda Pilot from a neighbour. We bought it especially for the annual drive to Phoenix.

Big birds

A young Bald Eagle takes a rest after consuming a Northern Pike in our front yard this morning.
I can hear him say "What are you looking at?"

A Pileated Woodpecker was eating chokecherries alongside the Robins and Cedar Waxwings
