We are once again in the snowy north. It snowed about 5 inches last night - light & fluffy with just enough moisture to stick all over Dolly's feet, tummy and face.
We went to visit Rick and Pat (cousin) today in Logan Lake. A 2 hour drive each way - left about 9 am, Pat made lunch for us and we left there at 2:50 pm. Rick is doing well after his surgery. He still has a problem with swelling and focus in his left eye so reading, puzzles and TV watching are tiring - this causes boredom to set in since he was told by the doctor not to work on house renovation for 3 months! It was great to visit with them - we also got to see their daughter Morgan and her 2 kids Landon and Ryleigh.
We delivered the last 15 lambs to the slaughter house on Saturday - 3 trips with the little farm Chev pickup. So chores are easier without grain and hay for the lambs. But feeding hay to the cows will probably start tomorrow - as soon as the chains are put on the tractor. There is always something to do on a farm.
My brother, Bob, drove from Pemberton (4 hours each way) for his birthday on Saturday (11th) and left on Sunday to get back to his farm. I made him a nice birthday dinner and we were able to invite Josef and Eva who are part-time neighbors. They live in Germany and Josef makes frequent visits to manage businesses and investments. Luckily this was one trip where he was accompanied by Eva so we were able to get to know both of them. Their English language is very good but there are still slight misunderstandings which led to a very funny situation where we were talking about Marg's cat Pumpkin and they thought we were referring to the large orange vegetable. They could not understand how the shy "Pumpkin" was sneaking up the stairs.
