and..GO!

This week has been insane! It feels like it's been months! We got to get out of nowhere for a bit this week and we headed down to Niagra Falls! I haven't been there since I was a wee lad. I have to say I've started to grow a fondness for Ontario (except for the air in Hamilton!). The best part had to be camping in a vinyard just outside Niagra-on-the-lake, sleeping under the stars and looking out across Lake Ontario and seeing the night-lights of Toronto! As well, probaby the best part of the week was going to St Jacobs market and buying heaps of KNVB gear! Got the whole kit, shirt and shorts as well as a scarf! Pretty stoked about that! Following out trip we came back to the annoucement that the asparagus had started to grow and it was go time! Both Friday and Saturday we working from 7 in the morning to 9 at night! My job in the process involves lifting a 28lb box of asparagus, deciding what size category it fits into and placing on that pallet. It's not a bad job and its a great work out, those two days equal about me lifting 20 000 lbs of asparagus! Six weeks of that and I'll be able to lift a baby hippo! I am absolutley loving every minute of this adventure! We'll see if I say the same as the work continues! The asparagus is growing faster than they can cut it resulting in the field across from us being full of about 2-3 foot asparagus, which works well to ambush people with! Well, I start work at 7 tomorrow and i'm sure it will be a long week!
Thanks for stoping by!

  1. What's the deal with the "....except Hamilton" business?? I will have you know that we have a lot more to offer than pollution and dirty waterfronts! I feel like I have to redeem my city and show you how beautiful it can be!
