New Shed
This fall we decided to take down our old cover-all and build a replacement shed. We are making the replacement a bit larger so that we can fit a few more things!
The cover-all.

Some of the walls up.
The final wall and the rafters up.
Some sheeting.

Garage door, siding and soffit and fascia.
And the final product! Praise the Lord!

Summer and Fall!
We have had a busy time with Jesse’s graduation, weeding, cherry picking, helping with Joshua’s house, picking apples, digging potatoes, starting carrot harvest and many other things!
After 12 years of hard work Jesse graduated from school. We had a short program including a graduation song and a few words of encouragement from one of Jesse’s friends and a farmer Jesse has worked for. And then, of course, lots of food!
Cherry picking went well except for this variety which had a lot of mold so we just picked a few.
Dad picking some delicious apples. Other people in our family do help pick too 🙂 . You can click here to see the price list.

Hawk and his ball. He enjoys playing fetch and watching the yard.
When the guy Jesse works for harvested our field, Micah and I used his drone to take some pictures and videos.
The wheat about to be harvested.
Micah got this picture of the sun shining through the harvest dust.
We dug many potatoes this year with a borrowed plow. (This is only part of them). We have several varieties of red, white, purple and Yukon gold.
They just poured the basement recently at Joshua’s house so we put in the stairs and framed the basement.
We then insulated the main floor. And you can see that they also did the poly.
We worked hard to finish the stone and got done just before the weather got cold and snowy!
Another event I attended in Regina on Oct. 1st, along with Mom and Dad, was Levi’s graduation from the CPA/CGA program .
We also got most of our chickens butchered at a Hutterite Colony that is a federally inspected facility and then butchered the last few along with some friends’ chickens. We haven’t dug many carrots yet so I don’t have any pictures…the snow has to melt first!
Another bit of exciting news is that Joshua got engaged on August 27 to Shaylyn Fehr. Their wedding is on January 7, 2017.
Even though we didn’t want snow now, we know that, “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22.
Joshua’s House
We haven’t posted for quite awhile because we have been quite busy around the yard with the orchards and gardens, along with helping Josh build his house (a few blocks into Rosthern).
Poured 4 weeks ago.
Started framing the main floor.
Framed the inside walls.
Put up some of the trusses.
Sheeted the roof then framed and put up trusses on the garage.
“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.” Psalm 127:1a
