Haying

Unusually dry weather allowed Dad to make square bales instead of round bales from the small fuels around our house. He made the call to bale one afternoon, but then I had to find a helper to collect and stack them. Caleb had a FVYPL meeting. 

In the end, Dennis and Cason VanOene helped, along with Opa. Luke started determinedly loading bales, but quickly got blisters. He didn’t realize he needed gloves. 😢. It took over two hours and was dark before they finished the 245 bales. Luke was exhausted! We all relaxed with a drink before heading to bed.

National Day of Truth and Reconciliation

Deciding that Truth and Reconciliation were really not our issue, we went to PG to enjoy a long weekend with Jared’s family. Even Caleb came along! The men went to work tackling the winter wood supple while we ladies ran the home front. I did get to try the log splitter, but Luke, with his broken arm, was very busy with that job when he wasn’t driving the tractor. By the end of the day, the logs were beautifully stacked. Caleb had this responsibility and did a great job.

Campground map- very helpful  Dad and I snuck off for one walk together in the week. It was fun! And beautiful.  Family photo❤️ The whole group! It was wonderful to camp together.  Val doing paddleboard headstands. Impressive! The kayaks were well used.  The Nature House always had interesting things for Elise, plus some neat programs. Most of us went to one on bears.  Joshua is so loved! Uncle Luke absolutely loves being an uncle.
