What's going on?

Hi Everyone! I thought we'd finally update the Colyn family blog as it has not been changed since 2006. Times are a changing.
We will try some new things to keep everyone interested and to maintain some sense of order around here. There is some social media integration for posts to be shared through Facebook, Twitter, etc. A Search function, so make sure you add labels to your posts for future reference.
Please be patient the next little while if things move around a bit, and be sure to let me know if you like or dislike whats going on.
Oh, and keep up the good posts, everyone! If you need any help logging in or posting, just contact me anytime... ~John

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The Big Partay is going to be at Colin and Aliza's this year, we are making preparations as we speak, walls being moved, additions added, tarps and tents, its going to be great! Can't wait to have you all here. We will probably have the gift exchanges done early in the evening so we can play with our new stuff and let Willem and Helle go to a special 40th birthday party, because people who turn 40 in the new year are really really special. The usuals are required, something yummy to eat and drink and lots of energy to do what Corrie is doing!! WOOHOO
I love my sister.

Thanks Amy for making coffee this morning.
I guess the other ones responsible for doing it

How Egg-citing!

After we came back from a great weekend in Port Alberni Ezra found that his hen finally laid some eggs. She is a little lonely lately since a Red-tailed Hawk took out the last rooster.

Flowers



Recently i have been picking the last of my flowers. I am kind of happy to be picking flowers in November. It sure is great to have Kale, skimmia, amaranthus and black dogwood all for sale and knowing that i don't have to heat a greenhouse. The bottom arrangement is a piece i made for our church this weekend. These vibrant flowers only last a day or two.
WE'RE BACK!!!!!

D.J. Mix a lot..


After a bit of waiting, I finally got my shredder belt..
This thing works extremely well
Bring on the compost...

Cat Hang Time..


Aaron having some fun with Bootsie and video software.

a story of two brothers



.....and so it went that the one brother worked hard every day hunting and gathering, while the other brother decided to pursue other interests... These pictures were taken about 15 seconds apart. Oh yeah Bas gave his "old lady" his Brain Bucket, while he uses a skiing helmet.
