Didn’t get a picture. 4H tug of war champions. Went the full 5 minutes, won by about 10 feet. Lost the drop, held even for bit before trading snaps. Took it home in back lock with about 30 seconds left.

Back to 4H pull. On to the championship this afternoon. Won in 3:46.

Proud father moment. Sons first pull with the men’s team. Unfortunately lost in in 13:26

Depending how you feel about subtitles or if your French is good La Grande Séduction is a good comedy. The English remake is also good The Grand Seduction. The English remake is different in setting but the basics are the same.

I have finally worked through some historical changes in the reserve currency. Some take aways, the day the reserve status isn’t the END. Usually two or three currencies will bounce around as the top one. After decades, a new one emerges. As financial folks like to say, past performance is no guarantee of future performance. One thing that stood out, I think most have this backward. The loss of reserve status doesn’t start the fall, the fall starts the loss of reserve status. #grownostr #moneymatters

While yesterday was my passion #drafthorse. Today was more practical. Neighbour (thanks Norm) with a chipper helped with the final Fiona cleanup. #grownostr #community

Come experience driving a pair of draft horses at the Halifax exhibition grounds in Middle Musquodoboit NS. #grownostr #drafthorses

Anyone around Middle Musquodoboit NS on Saturday? The NS Percheron Association is having a field day at the fair ground. Free admission, demonstrations working with draft horses, questions answered about tack, horse care, and draft horses in general. #grownostr, #drafthorses, #percherons

Looks like a late night. The northern lights may make an appearance and sky is clear. #grownostr #auroraborealis

While cleaning the barn this morning the demise of the US dollar as the reserve currency bubbled up. If another currency rises (ruble, yuan?) to replace the dollars currently held, said government would need to issue an equal amount of their currency. Wouldn’t that be inflationary for the issuing country? I’ll try to answer this in the next few days. #grownostr #moneymatters

Enjoying the evening listening to the peepers. Always a welcome sign of spring here. #grownostr #frogs

Plant our garlic in the fall. Just coming through the cover.

Still didn't have the head in game, should have been # not @. #grownostr

Weather turns nice and my social falls. I need to get the habit of morning and evening. Not random when the thought pops and I have the time/tech at hand. @grownostr

Thanks, changing the image loader did it.

Our drake was killed by a bobcat a couple of years ago. The ducks have been very broody to no avail. Now one is honing in on the chics. #grownostr #ducksandchickens.

Anyone else having issues loading images with Damus? I get ‘Error uploading image :(‘ #grownostr #nomorepicsDamus

Moisture in the hive with cold is a killer for bees. When looking at a dead out, if there are a bunch of bees with their butts in the air and their heads in the comb, strong sign of starvation.

First the chics coming. The couple who were broody this spring haven’t been good mothers. First time I left it for the hens to do and didn’t move the eggs to the incubator. Maybe I’m the source of the troubles. Fingers crossed they improve.
