Photo opportunities are endless when you’re surrounded by open sky. This spectacular sunset occurred last night as we remain in the grips of an extreme heat weather pattern in Southern Ontario. Stay cool everyone! You can visit “The Sky” to see more gorgeous sky photos that I took here at the farm.
Marion Thompson was a prolific writer. I want to share her wise and humorous words about being a mother that she penned in 1987:
No one is quite like a Mother Neither Father, nor Sister, not Brother She’s been there, forever, For support, or whatever When she’s gone, from our midst There will never be another. Through childhood You often were chided, Through problems, You, also were guided. Sometimes, it was rough And she’d had quite enough But, above all, In her family, she prided. Happy Mother’s Day to all you wonderful mothers! A farmer’s most important business partner is the Earth (unknown) As green spaces slowly disappear around the world, we are proud to maintain this one small patch of earth that we call our own. Every year we learn more about how to care for our land and how to protect the ecosystems and micro ecosystems that abound at our farm. We want to leave this piece of land in even better shape than we got it in. And this means that every day is Earth Day for us and for all farmers globally. You can visit “Tractors For Every Season (Turn! Turn! Turn!)” to see a slideshow of our tractors in work during all four seasons.
It’s demolition video time! Join me for one last fly by to see the skeleton of the barn and the final demolition. Sean and his crew at Rheeder Demolition make this look so easy when in reality it took days of preparation to ensure the barn came down without ruining the building attached to it. Now we’re ready to build our new shop. You can visit “The Walls Come Tumbling Down” to see more footage of the barn demolition.
