Getting ready


Well the rebuilding of the G is coming along, I stopped in to check the progress, it is all sandblasted and waiting for the crank to return from the machine shop and parts that have been order to show up. I am getting excited about how it will work for us this year, think i have watch every you tube video about them. We are starting to get ready with our seed orders, and are very excited about some new items we are finding.

I am taking a bike mechanics course once a week, with is turning out to be very cool. ( but i know its going to cost me more in the long run)

Hope all is well with you.

Where is winter???

A new year, and all the new hopes that come with it. We had a great holiday season with friends and family and just enjoy snow to make it feel like christmas.


But now with the weather above freezing everyday its looking closer to spring then the middle of winter. I mean don't get me wrong i love this weather, but the farmer in me wants some freezing cold weather to help kill off the infestation of weird caterpillars we had last fall and the kid in me loves watching a 20" cm snow fall. Something we have neither off this year.

We all have big goals for the year. Mel and I are both set the world famous new years goal to lose weight, she has her reasons but my main reason is to be able to mountain bike race again. The biggest motivation coming from june wanting to start mountain biking this year and will race if i do it to. Plus when you are pumpkins farmers they don't get any lighter as we get older.

I was able to have the skating rink we made this year ready for christmas day, but its been so warm it turns into water during the day. Even had to wash the dirt off it after the winds the other day.


Hope you are having a great year so far.....
