It's working

After months and months of this blog site not working and finally creating a new one, this site worked and opened for me today. Absolutely amazing. And I have nothing else to say.

It's Turkey Time - Thanksgiving weekend

We have so much to be thankful for. Crop is in the bin and it has been a good harvest despite a slow start to the season.
Crops have been much better than had been expected. We have also had just a beautiful summer. Incredible weather really extending right into the fall. And of course Louise and I had our trip to Alaska which turned out to be all we had expected and more.
We are still in the midst of kitchen renovations. Had some problems with the ceiling and had to have the textured ceiling guys come in and strip the kitchen, the little nook area and the family room and then re stipple the whole thing. Little more work and expense than we had planned on but that is the way it goes.
The new cupboards are in and now we are awaiting in the installation of the countertop and backsplash. Going to be really nice when it is all finished.

Saskatchewan - It's Not All Flat

Was on the road early today and in and out of the truck driving from 7am - 7:30pm. Left Regina bright and early and stopped at
advertisers in Avonlea, Moose Jaw, Assiniboia, Swift Current, Kindersley and Rosetown. Don't really like making that many stops but working with a shortened week due to a Doctor's appointment tomorrow. Along the way had to also make some stops to let Diego get out and have a drink and things like that. One of the prettier places we stopped at was Saskatchewan Landing and I took a few pictures there. Apparently there is some good fishing in that lake so sometime will have to take a fishing rod along and stay for an hour or so. Diego seemed fascinated by the floating dock. He liked walking on it and the wind was creating a real nice breeze so he just wanted to sit there. Actually I think he was happy just to get out of the truck.

Beautiful Day In Kelowna

Today we woke up to beautiful sunny skies in Kelowna. Was a really nice day. About 20 degrees or so. We joined Mom for lunch at Mission Woods and then after lunch went for a drive. We stopped first at Dad's gravesite and spend a little time there.
Then we followed one of the many wine routes and stopped at a couple of wineries for testing.
We returned back in time to meet Mike and Christie for supper at Mission Woods. They brought along their new puppy, a Doberman named Kierna. Not sure of the spelling on that one. All in all in was a nice relaxing day and took the opportunity to shoot some photographs including some very small grapes just starting to grow on the vine.

Dog Days of September

We are going through a record September. Several days in a row now we have had plus 30 to plus 33 degree temperatures.
Not really normal for this time of year and new records have been set. Was on the road this week travelling through the southern part of the province and the combines are in full swing. This is actually my favourite time of year. I love the golden fields and seeing the combines, tractors and trucks out working in the field. This hot weather will really spur on the harvest and some of the crops are looking pretty good. Somewhere low down on my bucket list, but still there
is driving a combine as it picks up the swaths. Have always wanted to that but being a city boy it's not to likely that it is going to happen. Took a few pictures down south of the combines at work.
