Snowladies and Circus Acts

Last weekend, while in Calgary, I  managed to catch up with Erin and Megan.

Erin tracks.

Up to no good.

Halloween 2012

This year for Halloween, this gang of pumpkins and ghosts braved the snow and returned to our front yard.

As you can see, despite the cold, they were still in good spirits.

Roger further honed his pumpkin carving skills and created this happy little guy.

And in keeping with the Halloween spirit, he dressed up as a kitty.

hee hee

Look at this!

And, it's not even Halloween yet.

Rosich Farms

After Thanksgiving, Roger and I drove down to Boyle to Sarah and Joe's grain farm.

Joe gave us an detailed but interesting tour of the farm and some of his toys, but the highlight for me was sitting in a combine and pressing buttons!

Sarah on the combine.

A mix of seed and grain.

Some antique farm equipment.

An old fashioned combine.

 

A boat.

(used to pull the tractor in times of flooding haha)

More of Joe's toys.

Sophia with Lumpy.

Bengt with Lumpy.

Did we ever have a good time there. 

We'll try to make this a routine stop en route to Edmonton from now on.
