Spring 2010 (Part Two)

The weather is still warm but there has been more rain than usual this year so a bit behind on the gardening. Busy times for everyone at the moment; I am busy trying to keep up with the landscaping, Mette is busy selling houses, Anja is busy completing school work before the Summer holidays come along and Daniel is focusing on graduating from school and getting ready to move onto college.
Talking of college, Daniel has been recruited by Langara College in Vancouver to play basketball for them so he has committed to them and has chosen his education courses is now looking at finding accommodation. An exciting time and we are very proud of him.
Daniel has also joined the Victoria Prep basketball team for the Summer and will be playing in tournaments in Vancouver, Bellevue and Las Vegas this year. Definitely more opportunities to travel with clubs and teams here.
Anja has been in her dance show at the Cowichan Theatre and now has time off through the Summer until she starts all over again in September. She will also be trying out for another musical as well so we wish her lots of luck with that.
We are still busy fencing our field and getting ready to plant crops. We just found out that there are two varieties of Olive trees grown on the nearby Gulf Islands so we may take a visit to them and find out more information. We are still thinking off blackberries and table grapes for our staked half off the field but may be open to Olive trees on the other half if they prove viable.
We have booked our Summer holiday and have chosen to go to the Big Island of Hawaii. It is somewhere we have always wanted to go and we are looking forward to it very much.
Until next time, Aloha!
