.......COUNTRY LIFE?!?

...Well, we're still swathing - or at least trying to. It started raining yesterday and is still pretty gross today so we're shut down for the moment. To top it all off, the phone lines have been cutting out for the last two days so we have no way of calling out or taking calls in...or using the 56K internet. All that being said, the leaves look beautiful, we saw some absolutely amazing Northern Lights on Monday night, and Paul and Jisca arrived safe and sound from Montreal.

I'm doing a bit of substitute teaching in town so I can use the internet at the library or at friend's places (thanks to Shannon's office I was able to download a few pics). Today I taught grade 8...

a bit rough but I got the guys in line after I laid down the law and said "I'm the sub and can throw you all out now without having to deal with the consequences tomorrow"...........the tougher challenge will come next week when I'm supposed to teach a kindergarten/grade 1 split class - I'm freaking out a bit about that one but I'll survive.

As for me, we got rained out last night so I got my first day off today. It was nice to get some other things done around the house. I've been putting in some pretty long hours on the swather...imagine having gone only 50km after about 10 hrs of driving...could be a little discouraging...but it's interesting how the brain can go into cruise control after a couple of hours...and I'm very thankful for the one AM country radio station. It's a good thing no one else can hear me out there belting out Shania Twain...I'm pretty sure it's a little scary.

We're also busy with the preparations for my sister's wedding in a week and a half. Everyone's getting very excited about it...hopefully it'll rain so we can get the time off to go:o)
