I think she is quite a variety of mixes
True Heintz 57
We were told - German shepherd (which her mom and grandmother looked most like)
Border Collie and Lab
I'm also quite sure heeler with the spots
One pup looked like pure gsd markings
2 others looked like gsd mix
Quite a few looked more like some type of collie
(Brown and white)

Congrats colleen. Yep up early.....puppies lol full go to full stop to full go all in 3 seconds flat!!!
What a beauty.

Sunday today. Weekends are too short.
Chicken moving day. Girls and breeder boys to the barn. Rest of the boys will stay freeranging to grow out and eat the throngs of grasshoppers that have invaded this year.
Some pens to clean and some fall bulbs to order. Looks like we got hit with iris boreres this year for the first time ever. Or the grasshoppers are eating them...sigh. have some transplanting to plan for later this fall-now that the buildings are down its time to landscape. Finally!! Trying to decide if its worth trying peonies...its so sandy here it might not be.
Of course veseys sale is on right now lol so morning tea with catalogue...dangerous.
Also need to check out the garden and do some weeding. Busy day. Hope everyone has a good one!!

Congrats Ross on your anniversary!! Lovely picture on horseback!! And I bet the party afterwards WAS a blast. Love casual food done like that! Heres another 'love' story going on, on horseback. Although horses are not really Scott's thing, lol.

On Friday past, we had a little excitement at home... I was at Walmart in Waterdown with Melissa and the baby, and Gary calls to see if I was still home. Hes got a fire in the baler! Hes in the back back bush..... and he called the fire department, but got cut off. So, panicking, I asked him if he wanted ME to call. He said no, he called again.

So.... we hung up, and all I could think about was the baler fire.... and him trying to unhook it from the tractor. Seems he got out, using his fire estinquisher he put out a belt that was flaming, and drove as fast as he could to the field he just finished baling, and ejected the bale. IF he had of dumped the bale in the field he was in, it would have rolled into the bush. VERY hilly back there.

So... he dumps the bale, and it burns away. The fire department can't come back there, because its too hilly/narrow laneway. So.... 3 freaking fire trucks sitting. ONE at the gate going down to the back fields. One in our lane, by the houses... and one on the road (side of the road). 3 men walked back, without shovels or anything..... and stood there. The wind was kind of blowing every which way. It looked like rain, and then thankfully we did get a shower, that wetted the ground around the bale. We had to wait for an off-road tanker truck to fill and come down.

Meanwhile... I looked over to the tractor and baler, and said, "Ummm, I think the fire is still going on in there". Gary went over, and Scott had come by then. They brushed abit of chaff off the baler, and of course, sparks landed on the ground, and started burning the hay chaff there. Its so DAMN DRY. GAWD... why can't it be a normal damn year!? Anyhow, twice, they brushed off some stuff, that was smoldering in there. Then when it was deemed mostly out, Gary drove it up and out of the middle field home, and hosed it down.

The firefighters hosed the bale down, and left. It was kind of like old home week... we knew most of the fire team. AND one of them bought beef from us, and I had been by his place 3 flipping times and forgot to take his bill along to drop it off!! So, got paid right then and there, lol.

Baler needs new belts. They are alot of money. I think $350 each. I think. Maybe they are more. And, some seals... and some rubber somewhere else. Phoned the insurance, to come see it tomorrow. NEED to finish baling back there. A bearing got hot, and started the fire.

Watered the squash this morning. A zuchinni plant is still watering, lol. I'd better go move the hose. Been over an hour now. Its just trickling tho. And, made 2 of those death by chocolate zuchinni loaves (ready for eating now!!!!!!!!!!!!!), and made BLT's for the guys for lunch. Gary and his son Jeremy are changing belts on the combine... and Dave is working in the woodshop.

So... I will go and move the hose, and then grab a cake and coffee, and sit in the gazebo! Its Sunday after all!!!!!!!
