Wow, September is here! Thanks to everyone who sent me a text and e-mailed me about the arrival of “Ms. September!” I hope many people are “Googling” today just to find out where Emo is! Unfortunately, I have so much work ahead of me that changing the calendar seems a […]

Well, it’s official—on Friday night I finally cut the last of my hay. I had high hopes that with a couple of sunny days, we would have it all baled up! When I saw the weather forecast for Sunday, I tried raking and baling some late Saturday night but it […]
As I left work last Friday, I quickly called the kids over to take a look at what I was seeing on the computer! Of course, it was a weather site and it predicted nice weather for the next week (well, it did say a slight chance of 1-3 mm […]
Well, last week was ruined by the crazy amounts of rain that fell across the district late Monday night. We had 2.5 inches, which left windrows of hay in standing water, while my west-end friends saw five inches of rain and fields that looked like lakes. The water is not […]
Now this is the weather that we have all been waiting for! Bring it on and please don’t complain about it being too hot—this is long overdue and won’t last long enough! I was away most of last week in New Liskeard. I had a two-day meeting but it took […]
Well, I’m sure everyone was back to wearing long pants and sleeves on Monday morning! What more can we expect–the polar vortex is still hanging around! I know we often joke about living in Northwestern Ontario, and having the heat and air conditioning on all in one day, but that […]

Earlier this year when I was complaining about the weather, a few people told me the forecast was supposed to be miserable until the middle of August. At the time, I didn’t think it was possible, but I’m now thinking that they were right! I had intentions of cutting hay […]
I guess I will continue to complain about the weather. I’m actually getting very concerned about it. The weather not only is wreaking havoc on many homes, cabins, and businesses but it is becoming a very serious condition for our farmers. There currently are a lot of unseeded acres, which […]
I’m sure everyone is getting tired of me complaining about the weather (man, I’m getting tired of complaining about it myself!) We have exceeded the total normal rainfall amount for the entire year now, with 572 mm (22.88 inches) to date. We’ve had 286 mm (11.44 inches) so far this […]
For the first time this year, I finally was able to get some much-needed yard work accomplished this past weekend. Well, I nearly had to get the tractor to pull my lawn mower out in one spot and had to go around a few puddles after that. But the grass […]
Well, once again I’m going to complain about our weather! Why is it that we seem to only have extremes here in Rainy River District? As in extremely cold, extremely hot, or extremely wet! I personally have no complaints about the hot part; I absolutely loved last week. I’m not […]
