News, fresh off the Farm

It has happened again. Our host provider seems to have some technical issue that won't allow our contact forms and most importantly Entry Forms come through to our mail InBox. Which means that anything that was submitted after 8am on Thursday morning got lost. You will have seen a "Success" note but it wasn't. So we are back to filling in PDF forms and emailing again until Tech Support gets this resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience.

April 08 was Eclipse Day for most of Ontario. We were fortunate to be in the Path of Totality for a little over 3 minutes. It wasn't looking great, but skies began to clear an hour before the eclipse began and by the time we got to Totality it was just some wispy high cirrostratus. My Sister who is an amateur astronomer amongst other things came for a isit and setup with her camera and big telephoto lens to capture a full time lapse series of the eclipse that she wouldn't have got at her home.

The weather has been awesome and the agility field is looking really nice. Raked, rolled, mowed and a light feeding has it almost ready for some equipment. Just have to find some time to freshen up the contact equipment for the season and we are good to go.

Health & Lifestyle

Life is like …
… a bowl of cherries. Sometimes it is sweet, sometimes it is the pits.
… a box of chocolates, watch Forrest Gump.
… a good novel, if you skip to the end you miss out on a lot.
… a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back at you.
… a camera. Keep it in focus, take lots of shots and savour the good ones.
… a roll of toilet paper. When it runs out, no one is going to replace it for you.
… a roller coaster. You don't need the screaming and waving to know when it is exciting, you'll feel it in the pit of your stomach.
… a game of chess. Failing to look at the board can make your next move your last.
… a snowflake. Each one is special & unique yet working together they form an avalanche of incredible power.

Sports

We had a nice day for a Working Class only trial. It didn't start out that way, rained cats and dogs at 7am. Good thing we had a late start in the schedule, and the skies were clear by the time the trial started. Thanks to Whitney for coming out to judge alongside Debby. A solid turnout for a limited offering of classes. Everything went smooth, and everyone got doone in time to go home and mow some grass.

Results are now available, Click Here for the PDF. Sorry but there wasn't any taking of pictures.
