A little catch up

We had a great start to the trip.  The flights were on time and not too hot.  We even had an empty seat between us for both flights .. that makes all the difference.


We got into Bishkek at about 3:00am and that got us to the farm by 6:00 and in to bed to sleep until 10:00.  Then we went into Tokmok to do some grocery shopping and to have a nice lunch with Ravil and his wife.  Julie had found a phot of her going back about 10 years so she sent it with me to give her . 


Monday we drove into bishkek and ordered 3 new yurts for up at the kashar .  They will be delivered and set up on the 12th of april so that will give us a couple weeks to pour the new pads for them .   We got a red one a blue one and a brown one.  It will hwlp us to know which is wich for the guests. 


We then carried on to Bishkek and had lunch with our team there and brought them some little gifts from Canada , and also met up with my son in laws brother to give them some things that the guys had sent to them ... I say the guys , but pretty sure they did not have much to do with it and it was Emma and Bekah that prepared everything.  But it is nice that we can do things like that to help them stay conected with their family. 



From there is ws about an hour nd a half drive bck through the mountains .. What a beautiful drive . 


This morning we were up and out early to go into the mountains to order some trees for at the Kashar ,, We were able to stop at the waterfalls on the way . 



Then for the rest of the morning we have been top dressing under the fruit trees and Quinton has been hard at work trying to sort out our past pruning and fixing my mess .  he has about 5 done and just 200 to go. 






After lunch I have a welder coming to take a look at the playground we put in several years ago and see about fixing everything that is broken then we will organize a comunity day to get everyone together to rebuild it and maybe add a few more items .. 

After that we will head back to Tokmok to have supper with Vlady and Tatyana and theirr Daughter and her husband who are in town for a visit.
