June 19, 2010 - Saturday

Well, it's been a very wet and rainy spring here in Saskatchewan.  It's been extremely hard on all the farmers, not to mention the "gardeners".  Dwayne was able to get the greenhouse emptied out of all the seedlings they started and transformed it into a garden that houses tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers. 

Here I am moving compost piles around....that's the same tractor that the "Swisher" is attached to for grass cutting.  And here also is one of my favorites of Alton.

On Tuesday night I "somehow" stepped on and broke my glasses.  Sam, who has been a friend of Dwayne's forever was kind enough to take me into Saskatoon, where she lives, and hooked me up with a place that fixed them.  In the meantime, I got to spend a couple days back in civilization where one can drink the water and order pizza for delivery!  I am grateful to her for the reprieve.  Today, I'm back on the farm.  The sun is trying to come out, but because of the rain the last couple of days, we won't be able to get into the garden for probably a couple of more days.  Maybe we'll go fishing.
