TIME OF YEAR!

| Grandson with Dolly and Loretta working on his six up |
We are back from Verner Ontario, just west of the City of North Bay. Verner hosted the 2019 International Plowing Match for 2019. Above is a photo of our grandson with his Belgian Mule team of Dolly and Loretta, plowing with a sulky Cockshutt riding plow. They had a 3rd place finish on the Tuesday, closer to the bottom on Wednesday and Thursday and seen above with his first 6 up and a great land at days end that earned him a 1st place on the Friday.
Kim had a much slower rise to his 4th place finish on Friday while he worked to get familiar with a "new to him plow." Thank you to our two mule teams of DOLLY & LORETTA and PATSY & TAMMY for all their efforts. A huge THANK YOU to the folks of Warren who hosted the horse & mule teams in their arena for the duration of the match. Your warm reception and hospitality was most appreciated.
Below, (maybe fuzzy) is a video of Kim, Patsy & Tammy doing their thing at the 2019 IPM
Two notes to add, one was the terrific trip through Algonquin Park going and coming to IPM. We had never been there and all we can say is WOW - GORGEOUS. We aren't campers but maybe some day will go back up again to look around. The scenic drive was lovely as depicted in the photo below.
Also, probably won't enter October blog until Thanksgiving has past so we will leave you with well wishes for a lovely gathering over the holiday weekend in October. Enjoy the outside and all that Autumn has to offer.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING WISHES!
While I was doing chores around the farm a couple of weeks ago and the mornings had turned chilly, this pretty dragon fly hitched a ride on my mitten...he seemed reluctant to move on and traveled quite a ways with me before he ventured off.
Until next time,
Jeanne & Kim
