Tuesday we just had sandwiches at noon, however I did cook some dinner later in the day, after the power was back on. It went out shortly after ten am (no surprize, it was a fix it day at the village electrical station) and was off until after four. I had just filled the electric kettle with water and turned it on, so it would be hot for the staff meeting. Garry had said we might have it indoors, because it was windy.
Yana and Vova showed up dressed for meeting outdoors so we met around the Crawford's firepit like the last couple weeks. The meeting started a little late because the guys were unloading wood for the drive shed rafter and post build next to the new house build. However, the water in the kettle was still hot, so people could have tea. Victor always brings buns out from the city for the meeting. This week Kolya joined us for the meeting, he is barn supervisor when Yana is not there.
Kolya was the lucky person who volunteered to take and cook Garry's latest gift from breeding cows. Monday night he came home with a huge frozen fish.
After the meeting, Victor and Garry were busy checking on the bees, so I took a couple photos. As you can see. we have more fruit trees in bloom. The apricots were first, then cherries and now mostly pear and apple trees are in bloom.
On Wednesday we had a short power outage in the afternoon, after four for about 20 minutes. Garry had just gone over to the shop to check on the guys building trusses and discovered that there was no power there. Or here, I saw the electric repair truck going back out of the village after it came back on. I assume they didn't quite finish the day before.
It was about 8 pm when the power went out again for a couple minutes. It was kind of dark in the house at that point, but no one had to get the tractor and generator to get the cows milked like they did Tuesday afternoon.
