The heat has helped my garden grow well. I continue to enjoy looking after that, particularly as we are now eating produce from the garden.
Last weekend the community we live in hosted a annual competition called Sand Sensations. The sculptors came from Canada, USA, Russia and the Netherlands. Davis' work was a sponsor so we went to a dinner and got to take part in the judging. The roping cowboy got first place in both the sponsor and peoples choice.
Due to the hot weather, harvest has begun already and I went out to help for a day. I look forward to going out more and spending more time driving a combine.
A new experience for me in the weekend was to learn how to chop up chickens. They had already been butchered, so we were just cutting them so we can use different parts, such as a meal of drumsticks. These chickens were huge. One weighed 10.4 pounds (4.7kg).
Davis and I found a patch of wild saskatoons which we plan to pick one evening when it is a little cooler. It involves walking up the Taylor hill, which is like going straight up the last part of Te Mata peak, not using the road. Saskatoons are similar to blueberries and I will freeze them for making various things.
