I talked to Garry before he went to bed Wednesday night, and he was hoping to plant some winter wheat today (Thursday) since it had not rained since that morning. However, when I talked to him today, they had done some discing, but no planting since it had rained in the night and more came down on Thursday. He says the ground in wet about 8 inches down now.
He did more work on two new projects today, expanding the shed to store the new planter under cover, and they have cleared a place upstairs in the barn and are building a new grain box to store some of the corn that they will eventually combine this fall.

Meanwhile, I am collecting stuff and packing it in the suitcase for my return to Ukraine on Monday, so I can spend all weekend with the family.
Here are some photos for Garry, who wants to see what the cornfields look like here in Manitoba. The boys cut some test strips in two fields and will start making corn silage on Monday. The camera battery died before we got to the fields that are ready to combine, sorry Garry....
