It's Snowing!!!
Hehehe...that's what you'd be saying if you were in Kitchener right now! But since I'm not I'll just have to say...it's hot!!! Today is warm again and it's windy. Last night we had some very nice rain and quite a bit of wind (so much so that at one point I'm pretty sure the rain was going horizontally, not vertically.
Hmmm, I guess there's lots to share about this week. We'll start with Monday (it seems like the logical place to start!) After finishing preparing the smaller field last weekend, Monday morning we got all the boys and the staff to help us and we planted the small field. So at least we have one field planted but we are still working on the bigger field. It will hopefully be planted by this Tuesday. That was definately an exciting event this week.
On Wednesday and Thursday, I got money from the accountant and bought some seed for the garden. So on Friday, Oscar and I planted a whole bunch of vegetables. We planted Tomato, Chinese Cabbage, Green Pepper, Eggplant, Okra and Rape (similar to Collard or Kale). We have some other seeds to plant but will likely wait a bit before we do. We'll also have to plant more of each of these crops in about a week so we can have a more steady supply of vegetables when we harvest. This was definately the highlight of the week. Now, before I leave, there will be some vegetables to harvest. At least if nothing else, it will look like I've done something while I've been here!!
Tomorrow I am going to church with Jess (a girl Claudia and I met at the CIL training before we came here) and then we are going out for lunch and maybe to see a movie. I think it will be nice to be able to relax and enjoy an afternoon not doing too much.
It appears that pictures are not working right now so I will have to come back another day and add them. I had a couple flower pictures and some of me after plowing and the boys planting but it will have to wait.
Hmmm, that kind of leaves me at a loss for what to say now. I was going to show some pictures but that won't work. So I think I will go now. I hope everyone is having a great time wherever they are! I also want to remind people that if they want me to send them something (a postcard, a letter) then please send me your address!!
Have a wonderful weekend!! Goodluck and Godspeed

Hi Dan,
I would love a postcard and you already know my address, so hint, hint! I am glad that you got the one field planted and soon will get the other done. The gardening should be fun when you start to get the steady rains. Your meals should be more interesting then! Yes it has snowed and the ground is white. It is also pretty cold. It is supposed to be sunny today but not yet.
Maybe we'll put up Christmas decorations today. Outside at least. I could also think about Christmas cards.
Goodbye for now. I love you! Mom
Hi Dan!!!
Sounds like you've had a good week. It will be so nice to see your veggies! And guess what... it rained here today, too!!!! What an amazing thing to see (but not as amazing as you, of course!). I love you, Dan!!!
Love Claudia

Hi Dan
Love reading your news. I'm quite jealous right now... as we are REALLY freezing here in Fergus. The wind is howling and it's cold!!!
Next week Christy gets married so I am swamped...but also getting excited.
Know that we are praying for you.
Blessings,
Sarah Albano
man, I would have to pick this weekend to come to sunny Colorado...I'm missing the snowstorm back home!!!!! I heard that we got at least 15 cm in Trois-Rivieres. However, it is about 65F here in Colorado. Nick and I are going skiing/snowboarding tomorrow at Breckenridge. I love you!
Love,
Andrea
