My daughter Corrina, and Papa love the garden...so she and Joe and Papa planted some potatoes, carrots, onions, and turnip last month. 
Today Papa and I took out the little tractor and tried
our hands at being farmers.(confession...we did not work today..just played!)

The Fields Are Golden with Canola. July 12th

You can now see that the end and edges of the roof and BC Singles are being finished.  Also one can see golden flowers of the canola fields, as far as the eye can see looking out the windows of our Valhalla Farmstead.  It really is breath taking, as the fields looks near florescent yellow.  We are putting a lot of effort to getting the inside livable.

The Standring's Have Arrived....Valhalla's 100th Anniversary!!

Today, Canada day, was a special celebration in our new community Valhalla. It marked their 100th anniversary, which this tiny community decided to have a parade to celerbrate this.  So Papa had an idea that the grandkiddies might like to go in the parade as the "New Neighbours."  So Roxi and Heidi and I plunged into the decoration of the truck...greared up the kiddies, and off we went!  Hadassah, Aunika, Naomi and Baby Achilles were thrilled to be a part of it all!
No work today...ummm, well actually Papa did get in two hours of basementy work before the parade...but, he is taking the afternoon off from the farm!
HAPPY CANADA DAY FAMILY & FRIENDS!!!
