skating, chickens and brussels sprouts

Yesterday the chicks didn't make it to Enfield until 6 PM so I left the Dartmouth pickup and booted it to Enfield to meet the large transport truck of chicks. They would have hatch within the past 24 hours. Brand New. I got home at 8:30PM and the kids ran down to the basement to help settle them into the bins we have in the greenhouse.

It was a really neat feeling to be pulling up behind a transport truck and being passed two cardboard boxes of chicks. They peeped all the way home.

Josh reports that this morning they are running all around happy as can be. If you want to see them while they are still cute - you might like to come over in the next few days.

Izaak is helping to the shell the popcorn. We purchased this corn sheller and walnut hauler from Pleasant Hill Grain.
Malcolm is washing and bagging the brussels sprouts over in Canard. These are the last of the brussels sprouts.

We had a fun time on the ice on Sunday. The kids are enjoying some hot cocoa.



Josh took this of the Canard River. This is the view as your drive across the Wellington Dyke Rd. The river is magnificent most of the time.
