We are Falling into place, even with the beautiful weather it is changing. The pine needles are just waiting for a good wind so they can fall and make my life miserable. When I look up at all the brown needles it just makes me want to cry. so, so , so many needles...

We are finishing up some projects with the Lavender then I must not do anymore projects. I really need to go pick up my hay. I feel like I am just so past it and I really wish it could be delivered. We have had coyotes and bears starting to hang around so we are keeping a good watch on the sheep.

Hockey has started, school is in full swing. I few days a week I go into to town to watch my Grandson. I sure do love that boy. We have so much fun together.

Now I most go and encourage my son to dig holes...many, many holes.

A Beautiful Fall

Cool nights hot days but I hear it is changing. We are still working like crazy on the farm. Plowing fields, for the new lavender garden. My dad is awesome. It has been incredible hard work but man oh man is he winning. Oh The Dreams.. i have

 

Salem is a wonderful kitten so full of life and fun. He is really a happy cat with quite the personality. When you cuddle him he smells of lavender. I think he is in a state of mellowness as he lives in the Lavender drying house.

Peace is what this picture shows

Except the pump quits working every time the power goes out and it will not restart. Sigh .. I just get it going again and off it shuts down.

Today the kids go back to school.

 I do hope some enthusiasm hit them by eight am!!

 Only two kids left in high school now, pretty crazy.

 We have two in college one in her second year of Business and one in her first year of ECG.

It was a nice summer but extremely fast and that would be because of the huge work load I gave myself. I think with the bulk of the projects I wanted done I am hoping the now it will be just the usual keep up and the never ending of cleaning I never seem to win with.
We are in the process of plowing up a chunk of field for the Lavender( when I say we I mean Dad, I Cheer and encourage him on).
 I also had a nice visit with my sister this summer she had come down for a week in August.
Over the next couple of weeks I need to do some good house cleaning I have been outside all summer and the house looks like it. I need to do some book work and all that not so fun stuff.

Yesterday while my middle daughter and I were watching our Grandson we see the sheep out and about in the yard. They had snuck out the gate where we were plowing. It is time to get the sheep in deworm and check them all over.
Well enjoy the start to your September.

Summer is flying by it has been busy but oh so good. So many projects started and finished, a little drama with the cougar, raccoon and such. The animals are all okay now a lot of grass for them. The new sheep are fitting in.

The kids are all well, a positive summer that is for sure.

School in less than a week and only two kids attending but two kids attending college!!

The gardens have done well in spite of the cool start. However in my herb garden sunflowers sure took over I think I will have to learn to pull some of those out next year. With so much building this summer my gardens did not get 100% attention.

Oh the lavender did though.

The Lavender business is going really good. People are starting to find us, the plants grew wonderfully.

Only 3 degrees here this morning that is way too close to freezing.

That is our typical crazy Canadian weather. It could just down right depress me thinking of snow, shoveling snow, cold, driving on ice, arenas... I had better get outside and enjoy the last few weeks.

I hope you all have a wonderful, amazing day today.

 What will you do?

 Squeeze something awesome into your day.

 Take Care

Good day there is fall in the air.

A sweater was needed last night and this morning.

 I do love fall but I am so not ready to give up my summer. I realize I write a lot about the jobs and the work that is being done and needs to be done. On a farm, yes there is a great deal of work, never ending, same over and over.

And, yet it is so satisfying.

 Nothing better than being out in Nature every day, hands dirty good ole hard work to keep you grounded

. As it is work ~ it is relaxing, it is pretty and it is home.

This cold air has made me think decorating with Pumpkins :)

Oh the Inspiration is everywhere

Good Morning.

Another hot sunny day ahh love summer.

Today I am off to support "A chance at change in 1 day" soccer game at CMS.
