This is a Wild Rooster in English.
And this, cattle-grid, is a Wildrooster in Dutch!
Same spelling, different pronunciation!

This year's seed order is in!
Went to the allotment this morning to pick it up!

Planted the Rhubarb here! Then took a look around!

Seems like the Garlic is doing fine!

And then there is the water level!

Back home and started this! It's just like long distance learning!
Gathered the school supplies!

The subject matter!

It's always a suprise!

Then it was break time! WD-40 has to get working!

Here in The Netherlands it's cold rainy weather, good for an oven casserole! In Calgary it's "...Last night when I walked home from work it was -37C with the wind chill, tonight it was -38C and it was a TOUGH walk! I had everything covered from my toes to the top of my head with the exception of my eyes. Had to take my glasses off so I could see a little as my breath freezes my glasses. I just have to make it to the weekend! It's supposed to be close to plus temps by Saturday!" and in Chilliwack see www.theprogress.com snow! Roads and schools closed!

Clear winter skies! Frosty nights!
-4C at the allotment!

Beautiful sunrises!

The water level has subsided!

Enjoy it while it lasts!

After that bumpy ride the light bulb still works!
What a piece of History!

And now back to Youtube to watch "How to clean a vintage..."

No wind, rain or snow, so off to Amersfoort!
I went looking for a sewing machine shop!

Thought they might know about bobbins and old Gritzner's!

Found the shop but it was closed!

Then almost home and the back wheel was deflating.

Does that have anything to do with today's date?
