A small delay

Well the plan was I'd be at the airport now waiting for my flight to Ukraine, but due to some last minute possible health concerns, I'm staying in Canada an extra couple weeks. It's likely nothing serious, but its hard to get treatment when you have a language handicap!  I am already booked for a couple more babysitting jobs with the kids.

Meanwhile Garry is excited to be finishing the hay yesterday and continuing to put together all the small plastic lines' connection fittings into the big flat lay hoses for the irrigation. They got the water going on the field from last year yesterday evening. That field  is much bigger than last year. They also had to replace a number of the pieces as the threading was messed up on some last year and they leaked. It's like they had a mix of metric and imperial threads so some did not work well together.

More parts were due to arrive today, and the rest later in the week so they should have the new cornfield ready to get water on soon. It remains dry there as usual.

Today was the last day of class for the year, as everyone will be busy with summer work until fall. Victor with the help of former student Andrey who was visiting for the Trinity Day holiday Monday, harvested the first honey of the year. The other guys were baling hay.

Should lots of sweet stuff to eat when I get back, as Sunday afternoon I helped Garry make cherry jam via messenger chat. I believe Garry said that Sasha Boderenko showed up with two bowls of cherries he'd picked. He and the girls did the hard part of pitting ,chopping and cooking; while I proved moral support and hints on where equipment was hiding, for making seven and half jars of jam.
