The water co-op has been down for a few days now which has forced Jared to have to haul water for the cows. He also had to dig down to the line to make sure there wasn't a leak anywhere. The tank seemed to be emptying much too quickly. He found the problem, thankfully not too big of a deal, the tub was tipped just enough that the water would run out causing the float to trigger which then constantly filled!
After the water was taken care of Jared got things ready to move the bulls across the road and in with the cows! Mumbo was actually pretty good, he did shake his head at Jared and dig at the ground but once the gate was open he calmly walked across!!
After moving bulls I helped Jared tow the one ton into the shop so Jared could start tearing the transmission apart so he can fix it!! Between all this I spent the day catching up on laundry and cleaning bathrooms!!
We had been invited to my moms for hotdogs, swimming and fireworks! Before we went there Jared had asked her if we could borrow their big blue tank to haul water for the cows! She said sure, and as payment all Jared will have to do is haul water with it next summer to fill their pool!!! But in order for Jared to borrow the tank he first had to fix the hitch on our trailer!! He had to weld it back on in the heat!!! He was so thankful for the cold water in my moms pool!!
We got to my moms at 7, the kids swam and jumped on the trampoline we roasted hotdogs and mom had all the kids do some races while we waited for the sun to set!! Mark's daughter, Danielle, is out for a visit from Victoria with her two kids, Scarlett and Chase!! Scarlett and Emry are the same age and hit it off instantly!!
With the sun finally down Mark started his firework show!!! Very, very impressive!!! Calum however thought differently!!! He was scared of the loud booms!! I think part of that was due to being much, much too tired!!!
So despite the lack of all day celebrating we did have a good Canada day!! I'm thankful to be living in such a wonderful country!! I love the many different cultures, the extreme changes in landscape, the unpredictable weather and the freedoms I enjoy!!! Happy 147th Canada day!!! I look forward to many, many more!!!
Sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteThankfully there is 24 hours in a day so we could have some fun!!! Now Jared is dealing with super thirsty cows because all he has to put water into us an old bathtub, not very big! And they wrecked the float last night so the tank that took 5 hours to fill drained in minutes :(
DeleteGlad you got to see some fireworks. We fell asleep before ours. sniff! sniff!:( Love fireworks. Do you remember the time David set them off at the farm in a barrell of dirt? Good times.
