Final count down for the pie challenge

And just like that winter has set in on the valley .   Julie and I are back in Canada now . we are home for the week then are excited to be heading to Thunder bay on Friday.

Despite the cold , it is comforting to know that everyone is warm, and we have coal to spare for those in need . 

Inside the green house things are doing well.  the fish have stopped hiding as much and are coming out for food.  

here you can see the reflection of the green house above when looking down at the fish. 

The seeds have started to sprout. the first half is bok choy .  The next half we plant next week .  It will be planted with red leaf lettuce .

We are starting on replacing the windows at the hospital tomorrow.  I was hoping to have this done before I left but the contractor had a death in the family so things were held up.  It has worked out ok because it gives me a little more time to raise some funds for this.

Speaking of raising funds , Tomorrow being Giving Tuesday will be the final day to get your pie challenge donation to count towards a pie in the face .  We will be pleased to except donations after that, but the challengers are off the hook to get a pie in the face if their personal targets are not met.

Please take a moment and make a donation.. Caleb can't wait to throw a pie in Logans face this year .. he has just $150 to go to make that happen.

Logan and Caleb   yearly challengers  .. they know first hand the blessing that this challenge is and  now support it every year . 

 We received the slippers we ordered from the woman's rehab center .. these will go to the seniors home for Christmas.

We still had a bit of hay that needed to follow our Sheep to the mountain farm where they will winter, so the boys got that done today before the snow came in too deep .

and so the sun sets on another day on the farm
