Going soon to see them

 Garry is ready to leave the lake, he has booked his flights to visit Ukraine! He leaves here on October 14th- gets there on the 15th, and returns to Winnipeg on November 14th at midnight. He will have a group from BC to help with a building project the first week. They plan to put up another heifer barn this fall, and they will remodel the village church kitchen, too. 

Meanwhile here's some pictures from the village.  Oleg has harvested honey. It wasn't a great year because it was so dry, crops and flowers were affected and so the bees had trouble making honey. 

Some of the little kids biked in a bikathon in the village on the field roads.

Max said sunflower yields were the worst we've seen in the village. Generally sunflowers are considered the most drought resistant crop. 

The farm sells eggs and here's some pictures 

Looks like the return of weekly cooking class for the girls anyway (I used to have everyone come). They made cheburecki, fried and full of cheese or something, we used to eat them at the seaside. I think I need the recipe!

Watch for the next post about the cheesemaking on television in Ukraine, on a national Sunday morning program. I'm working on putting together a bit of translation, thanks to Victor.
