Multiplication Table 1 To 30

Cherries


After my beautiful farm in Golden, I draw my thumb and direction picking cherries in the Okanagan Valley to gain a few Pépette to continue my journey. All Quebecois will tell you, picking cherries in the Okanagan Valley, is the way to win loads of sub! C'mon!

This year, no luck for me this is a disastrous year for cherries (ben is definitely a habit), and therefore cherries, well there are not many!
I will stay one week in farm (luckily it's an organic farm, I will not m'intoxiquer with pesticides!), just enough time to meet an Englishman who speaks English, an Ontario, Alberta his girlfriend and his dog who speak English, a Canadian who speaks English New Brunswick, two in Quebec, returning from planting, although sympathetic who also speak English (though they are the resistance in most French-speaking!) but who are there for three days, soon replaced by four other Quebecois less sympathetic, who also speak English.
Many will tell you that the Okanagan Valley is something beautiful! It's probably true, but I'm not down far enough south to see me ... And that's what I strongly support Randy, the truck driver who will take me a ride to Oyama!
In the Okanagan Valley, there are lots of lakes! and lakes there are many motor boats and jet-ski! and motor boats and jet-ski, there are lots of vacationers to the caravan, who like to pile on campsites near Highway 97 that runs along the valley! mhhhh!








short after this brief stay on the Riviera at the Canadian Management Abbotsford, about forty kilometers east of Vancouver.

Goats

In this new farm, you guessed it, there are goats. A lot! Let
total of 120 counting the babies (who are meugnons). And needless to say that the job, there is a lot!
This family farm produces goat cheese, milk and yogurt then sold to shops and organic market. The whole family is there, that is to say, parents and 7 children (The latter two are too small to work!). This family
(very) large is Christian (Reformed Church ... but I know too that because in North America, well there are many!) And is home schooling here ... no book of history, science, or other nonsense, but the pretty picture books with dinosaurs holding hands ... Adam and Eve).
Fortunately, four grown children no longer live in the house, well except the eldest son! In the house, so there: Peter, the father, Jo-Ann's mother, Jason, the eldest son of 28 years, Clarissa, age 17, Johann, 14, Charity, 12 years; Joshua, age 8, Steven, 4 years ... Naskue but also a sympathetic Japanese woofer; Lies (pronounced Lisa), a Flemish Belgian who does not woofing but it looks like. In short, it makes the people in the house, fortunately it is great.
the weekend, I'm lucky, the family presents its annual animal fair ... yay!
Here we are parties to two treaties between Agrifair goats.

Agrifair takes place every year and make a bit of everything is found on a farm ... almost!
Here are some photos, they speak for me!
