Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

Glad you made it safe even though it was a long and tiring drive Rava. Hopefully it didn't take long to get the weeds under control.

You'd think as we get older we'd know to take it a bit easier on our bodies eh dill, hope Mr D isn't too sore this morning. People up here are just planting their gardens and you're already enjoying cucumbers from yours!

I'm sure you'll enjoy having the company Ginger, you'll find many things to do to fill the days.

It finally quit raining sometime through the night so now we need some sun to dry things up enough to get back in the fields. We're pretty close to half done, wheat is all in and about 260 acres left to finish up the barley. Not sure if we'll seed the oats next or start on the canola, those decisions I leave up to Corey lol.

[Ginger999]

Rava, glad you're back to your tiny home, safe and sound! We get letters about our tiny yards too, if they get weedy. Enjoy all the family time coming your way.

Dill, cucumbers already? Wow! What variety? Hope Mr D isn't sore too long.

ABC, I'm always surprised how fast you guys get the planting done! You're so close already!

Hi, Jude. Anything new with you?

I'm headed to get a massage this morning. I'm just not bouncing back from the work on the cut bank. When will I learn? Dummy I'll take another!

[Mulburry]

Thanks everyone.

Big game tonight, of course I'm rooting for the Oilers lol..

I was rooting for the Oilers too, glad to see them win. I'm a Colorado Avalanche fan (since the Quebec Noridiques days), but I like the Oilers as well (they were technically my first team as I was born in Edmonton), and now that the Avs are out, I'm fully behind the Oil.

Dill, cucumbers already?.

Haven't done much planting in my mon's garden this year, but luckily the currents, gooseberries and raspberries are all coming nicely of their own accord (with a little weeding). And we have some new grape vines coming over from the neighbor's property (the previous one's finally died off last year), but not sure if we'll get grapes this year. And a new plum tree (also not sure if we'll get plumbs). I don't mind in any case, fruit/berries is the easiest to grow (practically grows itself) and the most delecious!

[Jude58]

Glad that you made it back to your tiny house safe and sound Rava. I'm glad that we aren't a part of an HOA; we would have a stack of letters from them regarding weeds!

Wow dill, you are already picking cucumbers? We haven't even planted ours yet!

Here's to 24 hours of freedom for all of us...

[dill]

I know it's crazy we got 2 cucumbers so early! It took me by surprise. In fact, I had just bought 2 cucumbers at Kroger day before yesterday! Mr. D started his plants in the greenhouse, and we have had good early planting conditions, so he got ahead of the game. Crazy, huh?

New Thai restaurant in our area! The next town over from us is just 8 miles away and it is in that town. We tried it yesterday and it was great! We will try to eat there often to support them.

Glad you made it home safe and sound, Rava!

Sounds like you are making excellent progress on the planting, Cowboy. Hope Conditions allow you to get it done soon

I don't think I could pass muster under an HOA either, Jude. The weeds are definitely ahead at this point because it's been so wet. But I'm playing the long game!

Ginger, you and Mr. D are kindred spirits in terms of pushing yourselves a bit too far. But at least you take time for self care. Mr. D just keeps pushing!

Hey Mul, do you think you'll make anything with those gooseberries? We have gooseberries here but usually the birds get them before I get out to pick them!

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

[Rava]

Good Morning Cafe. I understand dealing with an HOA can be exhausting but I am glad that they monitor this place so closely. With a bunch of trailers/modular homes all so close to each other, having rules and standards makes it a very nice place. Keeps up our property values. So I am not complaining. Hope everyone has a great Wednesday. 24 more for me please and thank you.

5:18am in Alberta, I'll have another 24 please, and thanks...

So true, Rava. In such close confines without the rules, things get so junky. I've seen it many times in our travels.

Off to pick up my friend at the airport. I'll take another!

[Mulburry]

Hey Mul, do you think you'll make anything with those gooseberries? We have gooseberries here but usually the birds get them before I get out to pick them

We usually just eat them because there's not that many. Lot's of currents (red and black) though, so we often make freezer jam out of those.

[Jude58]

Good morning cafe! Sitting on the back porch drinking coffee and listening to the breeze rustling through the trees. Small pleasures...

Cease to be grateful, cease to be sober...

24 more please...

[dill]

We seem to be going thru a spate of rainy weather here. It's unfortunate bc our farmer friend hasn't been able to get the hay in. Clock is ticking! He had a stroke last winter and has be healing ever so slowly. He is in his upper 70's. He and his wife are down-sizing. The stroke pushed him to having to sell the bulk of his cattle. He kept a small herd for his daughter to oversee and have some income. He is no longer making hay anywhere but here. But not until the rain stops!

24 for all of us here, please and thank you.

We've got the same kind of weather dill, it showers on and off all day but the next day it stays cloudy, no rain but no sun either so the fields won't dry. Then another day of showers followed by cloudy days. We're going to be up against the calendar pretty soon if the weather doesn't improve in a big hurry.

[Ginger999]

Morning all! Picked up my friend. Not sure what today will bring but I'll take another
