Well, that’s a wrap on the 125th Emo Fall Fair! What an incredible weekend. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. To be honest, the Emo Fair for many of us is just like Christmas and it is over too fast. The clean up is still on, but the fun […]

Hard to believe it is the Emo Fair Week and it’s the 125th Emo Fair! How exciting. I know for many, that may not have the connection to the Fair, it probably doesn’t seem like it is a big deal. It is a big deal! This is an Agriculture Fall […]
Another long weekend is behind us. The days are getting noticeably shorter and I don’t want summer to end. Winter drags on forever but summer just passes us by in a heartbeat. I often think about living someplace where summer is longer but everyone reminds me that those places will […]
Well, I think we were all happy to see the forecast was finally calling for a dry week and before I even got home from work Monday it rained. It wasn’t a crazy amount but plenty enough when you don’t need or want it. I am thinking there will be […]
The weather is not cooperating well to make dry hay, and it is driving me slightly crazy. My mind is programmed that we should be making hay, and I find it difficult to work on something else because my focus is making hay. I found myself a bit stir crazy […]
That was quite a storm that passed through last Friday! At the Research Station we received 40 mm and 31 mm at home. It soaked up quite well, but we do have a few sticky spots to avoid today. I did hear of a few places locally that received some […]
Happy Canada Day to everyone! I absolutely love Canada and proudly have a very Canadian home office. I have many trinkets and neat things that have been mainly gifted to me after people find out how proudly Canadian I am. It is looking like I will be spending the day […]
Summer has kicked off with quite a show! From a very hot Saturday to a scary storm Sunday. It was a warm day on Saturday to wrangle and shear sheep, but it went well, and I am certainly they are feeling like a million bucks now. I did end up […]
Last weekend’s rain allowed us to catch up on some inside jobs at the Research Station. I was very behind in my field notes and since Monday was a P.D. Day, we had two staff so there were all kinds of odd jobs getting crossed off the list! As you […]
Thankfully we have received a worthwhile amount of rain and even though I am complaining about being cold, the temperature will help to allow the rain to soak in. This will help with pastures, hay and for those that have been watering their lawn. I am still feeling nervous about […]
Here we are in June and here we are waiting for rain. You know from my past comments I am not one to wish for rain, but as I see the pastures and hay slowing down, I am starting to get a bit nervous. It is all too familiar from […]
It looks like we are moving into summer like this week, and we will all be hoping the wind is more bearable. It was cold last week, and you may have noticed that your lawn did not grow much. This is the same for our pastures. I think I may […]
