Lizzie has been busy with volleyball, having been to two tournaments in the last few weeks, both in preparation for provincials that are happening at the beginning of May. Her team has not placed well though so her team is sitting in a lower division that where I would have expected. Still loving this sport though and the families and kids that are involved are all good people. Lizzie is loving her team and team-mates and once again she has benefited from new coaching.
Margaret has rejoined her school soccer team this year and is in the middle of her first tournament this weekend. They are playing very well and have won their first two games. It’s still a bit chilly for sidelines, but the parents are soldiers and we watch as they run red-faced from end to end. Margaret herself has improved much since last season and is getting more time with the ball. Great to see and she is thoroughly enjoying the team and the game.
Mary is busy building a chicken coop and we have permission from our landlords to get her chickens started here at the house in preparation for our move back to Fernie in September.
There are signs of life finally in the garden and we’ve turned a couple of spaces in the house into a grow-op to get seedlings started. There is rhubarb and garlic are growing at the property and we have more at the house, our tree cuttings are getting going and the seedlings we have planted for pickling cucumbers, onions and brussels sprouts are taking off. Mary even started a random batch of apple seeds to see what would happen and we now have four seedlings going for that too! All good here and having a bit of fun dreaming of the farm.
