As most of you know last week Jason and I spent some much needed time away from our much loved farm. Amazing as it sounds farmers do need a break every now and again, although ours prefer more like a 20 to 30 minute break. Jason and I spent the week fishing with lots of good friends in Ignace, Ontario, Canada. Here are the pictures, as promised..and if you look close you will notice that when ...
