Getting through last week was quite an achievement for all of us. We managed to pick and prepare for 4 markets! Our produce usually runs out, however, and we should be doing more but there is only so much time and so much help. We try to make sure we're set up by the British Columbia Fruit Truck because it draws a lot of people and also because the woman who works it is a lot of fun. On Saturday when we all got home we high-fived on a job well done and collapsed. However, on Sunday we played! We all went down to the river. Now going down to the river means first taking a gravel road, then opening a barbed wire gate, driving through, closing the barbed wire gate and following a little dirt grass road for a bit. Then you get out and walk. But this is where you end up!
There is not a single soul anywhere, but for the 4 of us. I'm actually surprised we all kept our cloths on, however, we all have such farmer tans there would be far too much virgin skin exposed. We aren't actually on the river. We are at a river inlet.
Ok, here's me with no hair. It's starting to grow in enough now that it lays down some. Dwayne took this one and is very proud of it. You won't be seeing any more of me for awhile now. 
So, after a glorious afternoon we packed up and headed back to the farm. The guys went into Outlook and picked up some groceries and Mavis, Dwayne's mother, and brought her back out here for a barbeque. We were so busy last week she didn't get the time and/or attention a mother needs! It is now Monday, August 9th, and the start of another week...oh boy! The nights are starting to get dark earlier, and the sun is not coming up until around 4:30 or so. Things change so fast here. A season change lurks just over that horizon.
