Where Farmers Meet

Today was the official anniversary of Dad's passing.

So what did we do? One of his most favourite things! Spent the day at Canada's Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock! It was a beauty of a day, tiny bit of rain, but we hid in the EastGen dairy pavilion to visit the cows and get our free lunch to tickets from TD Canada trust at that point. Oh Boy was lunch yummy, tasty beef on a bun from Norpac, mmmm mmmm good. 

BIG C and Daddy were in their glory, checking out equipment, tractors and self-propelled sprayers too. Like kids in a candy store. 







We checked out the crops (soybeans and corn) at Dekalb (our preferred variety!), Pioneer (which Hubby hated to admit looked fairly good), NK, and Pride. 





It's a great day out and we get to meet up with plenty of other farm friends, but boy do I wish I wore my UP! band today! I bet we tracked A LOT of miles on these toesies!!

BIG C loved every minute of today (except the ones where we took him out/off equipment) and the van hadn't moved 2 feet before he was passed out!

Dad loved the farm show, he especially loved heckling any friendly face he saw - even so far as to 'fire' many of the people who work for the companies at the show for not working hard or doing their job :)

Such a joke-ster. I miss that a lot. 

Until we meet again.
