Man could i be productive if i didn't have to go work!!!!

Well in the last two days we have got the pumpkin patch really cleaning up. Almost everything has been hoed around( lots of thanks to my mom for the help with that), Melody did an amazing amount of rototilling down each row, lots of cultivating to help dry out the water logged field, and started row cultivating again today to help air out the soil more. I don't think our field has ever looked this clean at the being of July ever!!!!!

The temps have been +30 this week, so it usually only lets us work till 1 in the afternoon, then gives us some family time. Yesterday was really laid back, we all had a family afternoon nap ( well expect june, she just took turns waking us up). Then headed to town for the canada day festivities. Autumn hung out with some of her friends as june danced to the music in front of the stage. We meet up with some family there to watch the fire works, which were great. Then watch the an amazing lighting storm north of us as we drove home, luckily to find only a small amount of rain actually fell at our house.
Tomorrow hold some equipment repairs and hopefully to finally finish cleaning my garage. But with two more day off i know we will have lots more laughs ahead.

Going to be an awesome week!!!!

Well after the rain on sunday, all we could do tonight was head out for a mountain bike ride. We took along one of autumns friends for her first try at riding trails. Was a beautiful night and enjoyed a relaxed ride enjoying the beauty of nature. We then did some pavement riding over to a playground near the beach, and then a ice cream stop on the way home.

Our field no longer has huge lakes on it anymore but is still very soggy, i am hoping another day of sunshine and wind tomorrow will allow me to be able to get and and weed some higher sections. And hopefully full tilt weeding by wednesday and thursday.

Since Canada day is thursday i am hoping to so on the river boat cruise in town and catch the fireworks that night. Hopefully with a smile on my face about how clean my field is. Fingers Crossed!!!!!!

Where does it all come from?????

Well we had two very productive days friday night we cleaned up one really weedy section of field, then saturday got half the white pumpkins cleaned up and a large chunk of another section done. Then we were chased in by the rain at super time, we ate and watched a massive downpour, i felt so good about everything we had worked up and loosen from the 3 weeks of wetness we have had here.

Woke up to the sun this morning, and figured by tonight i would be able to walk the field to see how everything was looking, only to see the darkest clouds come rolling over the house. And then mother nature show me once again who really is in charge!!!!!!


So now it's off to town for some groceries and a then cook a nice super and a relaxing movie with my family. Sounds good to me!!!!

Friday night time to Hoe it up!!!!

Could it be??????? THe rain has stopped?????? THe forecast was calling for another big downpour this weekend, but they have just changed it to a week of sun and nice temps. So with the row cultivator hooked up and hoes in hand it is time to get the field cleaned up.

THe pumpkins we have reseed on june 14th are poking though the ground beautifully and look great. and even though there is the odd ugly messy patch for it being over a month since we seeded it's looking pretty good. ( till i think about the white pumpkins patch, but that is another story)

Off to work
