Early November

No, not the band (although they sure do play a few good toe tappers!). It is getting colder. Below freezing in the mornings and as soon as the sun falls behind the north mountain in the evenings, the temperature drops. There's nothing like getting all bundled up in your coat and lacing up your insulated work boots to go out and work in the morning cold; frost covering the fields; clouds of breath coming out of your mouth and nose.

I took that picture out of my bedroom window the other morning. The sky was overcast and the cold wind blew but the cows didn't seem to mind one bit.

The days seem to roll on by. In a good way. I love the work and the land and all the critters in my care taking. Even the puppies who take up half of my bathroom floor and squeak and squeal all through the night.

Tomorrow, I'll be heading over to the DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) to meet up with our neighbor, Beth, who works there. She invited me to come help them with the salmon spawning process going on right now at the hatchery. Sounds like an interesting afternoon and a good opportunity to catch some supper!

For those of you who thought that last video of my bedroom was really where I stayed (Nate haha) Are you kiddin me?! Do I look like a broken glasses wearing, stick waving, scarred boy who lives on privet drive? I think not. Here is the real video tour.

See, an actual, human living space. Not a broom cupboard. As time goes on I'll go outside and show more of the farm, see all the buildings and meet some of the animals like Draco, the prized stallion or Boss, the bull!

Anyways, it's time for a bedtime cup of tea!
