Open Farm Day tomorrow.............

When you read this, it will likely be all over. We were asked this summer if we would consider hosting open farmday again. Since it was the year of the potato and they did not have a potato farm yet. So after some thinking, we decided to host this event for the second time. We did it two years ago as well. It is really enjoyable, but it takes a lot of work to get ready for it. I'll post some pictures on the next blog, maybe even tomorrow, so be warned, two blogs in a row.
We started digging a few headlands yesterday, the potatoes were still skinning a bit. The crew is coming in on Monday and hopefully we will be able to start digging the seedplots. I could put some archived pictures in for that, but I'll wait for the real ones. We had one interesting find however. Diggin right clos to the shop, we noticed a round iron object in between all the Gold nuggets. Yukon Gold that is. If you look at the pictures I would like you to tell me what you think it is.....

Hi Dad,
I did get a chance to check out the pics. I'm going off to do some research now. Thanks for thinking of me :)
Love,

I think it's a cannon ball, dating back to the days of sea marauders, pirates and buccaneers.

Can't wait to see what Mary comes up with!!!

Great job on Farm Day Randall. I was only going to drop in. I stayed for 3 hours. Guess I enjoyed myself. :)
