Garry ended up getting a big delivery of brewers grain on Friday after all, a big truck load of "bagged stuff" from the man we used to buy it from. He even decided that tey could sell some on Saturday at the new price 4 grivna a kilo (to reflect the higher price of buying) and they hardly sold any on Saturday. Thinking is the higher price was the deciding fator, and most people had found something else to feed to replace it when we didn't have any for sale. No fears the cows are happy back on the higher amounts to eat again, as the pit is still full to the top- it was overflowing when it was delivered.
Sunday evening Garry brought home some of the prosso millet to measure- no photo, but it was a foot tall, and should be growing more as we had a nice rain today. The alfalfa field is also growing nicely, Garry is thinking that they will chop it at the same time and turn it into silage together.
Monday we were getting ready for our new B and B guests that Victor was taking touring this week, when we had other Canadian guests. These people had met Garry last summer and were on a mission trip working in the city of Nikopol and dropped in- on their one day off. We had tea and chatted. Two of the ladies, sisters, were born in Ukraine in a nearby village and their Mennonite family left in 1943 when they were 2 and 4 years old.
After lunch our visitors we were expecting arrived, two couples from British Columbia. They are my favorite B and B guests, they insist on washing dishes!
Yes, if you are wondering, I am still limping around, and soaking my foot/toe in salt water. Maxim has been plowing with the new plow since yesterday and says it works great. He found a way to get the wheel on. He took it off the braket, bolted the bracket in place and then reattached it! A safer and easier method to get the bolts lined up and bolted tight!
