This is the first time I have removed shingles (not the first time putting shingles on), and these tear off spades work great. The fact I had three scary dreams about sliding down the roof last night, might have made me overly cautious on the roof today, but we got lots done.

 The start of a new project - roofing! The shingles on the south side were in really rough shape compared to the ones in the photo on the north side.

 Rolling on the grass together.

 Killdeer next right next to the driveway.

We saw this down the road today - someone was scraping the black dirt that had blown into the ditch, during the strong winds we had last week, back on to the field.

 Today we found, and marked the queen (only one hive survived the winter from the five last year - honey bees aren't native to Canada, so it is always a gamble).

 New project, more towels. These ones are all about how the colours in the warp interact with the weft colours.

 Too cold outside, so these two are playing inside.

 You would think there was only one nesting box in the coop!

 The last couple days of high winds has helped us to get rid of some dead trees.

 After two days of record breaking winds, this evening it finally let up a bit.

 Today we had the highest winds I have ever experienced - 70-90km/hour, it's a dust storm!

Stubble burning closer to home.

 

 7am.

 The start of a new project - overalls.

 Sound asleep.

 Happy hens.

 Making another one of my favourite tops (a few of them hanging up - I was checking how long to make this one).

 Miss Maggie running in for supper (she never misses a meal).

 I don't know if Ginger$nap! is just checking on Miss Maggie's meal, but the same process happens four times a day.
