00:01:40:09 - 00:01:41:20
I'm glad you're all here,

00:01:41:20 - 00:01:44:15
I’d appreciate a couple of house rules

00:01:44:15 - 00:01:45:23
Number one.

00:01:45:23 - 00:01:47:02
When you come in, please

00:01:47:02 - 00:01:48:04
close both doors

00:01:48:04 - 00:01:50:21
to keep mosquitoes and flies out.

00:01:50:21 - 00:01:53:06
Number two, when you're having lunch,

00:01:53:06 - 00:01:55:17
please don't stack your plates.

00:01:55:17 - 00:01:56:22
And the third,

00:01:56:22 - 00:01:57:23
have fun.

00:01:58:15 - 00:02:01:04
And I almost forgot

00:02:01:04 - 00:02:01:22
about the lamium.

00:02:03:19 - 00:02:05:13
Try not to drive on it.

00:02:35:04 - 00:02:38:00
You can have a life with joy and hope,

00:02:38:17 - 00:02:40:18
and love

00:02:41:16 - 00:02:44:16
But it's not always easy.

00:02:55:15 - 00:02:56:18
One of the first things

00:02:56:18 - 00:02:58:06
I usually plant are potatoes.

00:02:59:03 - 00:03:01:00
And most of the times I prefer

00:03:01:00 - 00:03:02:21
if they are sprouted.

00:03:02:21 - 00:03:04:22
I don't always get sprouted ones.

00:03:04:22 - 00:03:06:01
When I plant potatoes,

00:03:06:01 - 00:03:07:05
the first thing I do is

00:03:07:05 - 00:03:09:15
put some onion skin in

00:03:09:15 - 00:03:10:22
with the potato,

00:03:10:22 - 00:03:12:23
because it helps to prevent

00:03:12:23 - 00:03:14:16
hundreds of potato bugs,

00:03:14:16 - 00:03:15:18
which I don't have to pick.

00:03:16:17 - 00:03:18:11
Normally I would

00:03:18:11 - 00:03:19:23
plant everything at the same time,

00:03:19:23 - 00:03:21:12
but the rabbits ate all my beets.

00:03:22:19 - 00:03:23:21
And then I look

00:03:23:21 - 00:03:26:21
at my plan to see how many

00:03:26:22 - 00:03:28:19
big steps I need approximately

00:03:28:19 - 00:03:30:18
because I always keep my plans

00:03:30:18 - 00:03:31:10
from year

00:03:31:10 - 00:03:32:11
from year to year,

00:03:32:11 - 00:03:33:07
you can see that

00:03:33:07 - 00:03:35:03
I have a bunch of plans here

00:03:35:03 - 00:03:35:17
some years

00:03:35:17 - 00:03:38:17
I planted too much, some years not enough

00:03:39:01 - 00:03:40:23
but most of the time

00:03:40:23 - 00:03:43:08
most of it comes up.

00:03:43:18 - 00:03:45:22
I live on a boundary

00:03:45:22 - 00:03:48:22
my land is three miles long,

00:03:49:09 - 00:03:50:21
so one boundary

00:03:50:21 - 00:03:53:13
I can see it's the neighbours call it Foth

00:03:53:13 - 00:03:56:13
The other neighbours are called Wall.

00:03:57:01 - 00:03:58:22
I write that on my sheet

00:03:58:22 - 00:04:01:22
and at one end I have river,

00:04:02:04 - 00:04:05:04
and at the top I have the bush.

00:04:06:08 - 00:04:07:19
That leads to the house.

00:04:07:19 - 00:04:11:05
There's a sort of a path from the garden

00:04:11:05 - 00:04:12:00
to the house,

00:04:12:00 - 00:04:14:00
and it’s usually pretty bad

00:04:14:00 - 00:04:14:22
for the mosquitoes,

00:04:16:00 - 00:04:19:00
but we run through it quickly.

00:04:19:09 - 00:04:21:12
I don't need to take all this along.

00:04:21:22 - 00:04:24:22
except for the gloves and the hammer.

00:04:25:07 - 00:04:28:02
And then we're going to stop for the hoe

00:04:28:02 - 00:04:31:03
in the shed where I usually store everything

00:04:36:03 - 00:04:39:03
Let's go.

00:04:50:10 - 00:04:53:00
The reason for the red handles is

00:04:53:00 - 00:04:55:09
so that we don't lose our toys

00:04:55:09 - 00:04:58:09
our tools on the way.

00:05:00:22 - 00:05:01:19
The next step

00:05:01:19 - 00:05:04:09
is to put the beets in.

00:05:04:09 - 00:05:07:09
So first of all, you make a row.

00:05:08:21 - 00:05:10:15
So you know where your seeds went

00:05:11:19 - 00:05:14:19
in case they don't come up...if it rains.

00:05:14:21 - 00:05:15:21
If it doesn't rain,

00:05:15:21 - 00:05:18:04
sometimes it takes a while,

00:05:18:04 - 00:05:20:18
then you can seed around it

00:05:20:18 - 00:05:22:21
I mean weed around it.

00:05:26:00 - 00:05:26:14
Okay,

00:05:26:14 - 00:05:28:21
Lines ready

00:05:28:21 - 00:05:31:06
First we make the hollow

00:05:31:06 - 00:05:34:06
with the hoe.

00:05:34:07 - 00:05:36:12
And after we've made the row,

00:05:36:12 - 00:05:37:12
so we know we're going.

00:05:41:02 - 00:05:42:18
And we try and get it

00:05:42:18 - 00:05:43:10
deep enough

00:05:43:10 - 00:05:46:10
so that we get some damp soil,

00:05:46:16 - 00:05:47:06
preferably.

00:05:47:18 - 00:05:49:06
Then we pour a little bit of water

00:05:49:06 - 00:05:52:06
down the row.

00:05:54:06 - 00:05:56:04
You give the seeds a start, in case

00:05:56:04 - 00:05:57:12
it doesn't rain.

00:06:05:06 - 00:06:07:02
Quite often

00:06:07:02 - 00:06:09:02
they come out a little too thick,

00:06:09:02 - 00:06:11:04
and when they come up,

00:06:11:04 - 00:06:13:01
then I have to thin them

00:06:13:01 - 00:06:14:19
Of course,

00:06:14:19 - 00:06:17:05
But this year,

00:06:17:05 - 00:06:19:16
the rabbit took care of them all.

00:06:24:04 - 00:06:27:04
Can you see?

00:06:27:17 - 00:06:28:03
Okay.

00:06:28:03 - 00:06:30:20
Once the seeds are in the ground,

00:06:30:20 - 00:06:32:07
you put

00:06:32:07 - 00:06:34:00
the

00:06:34:00 - 00:06:37:01
the seeds that you planted on the post,

00:06:37:01 - 00:06:38:05
and then you cover them,

00:06:39:18 - 00:06:40:22
and then you,

00:06:43:12 - 00:06:46:19
stamp on them with your feet

00:06:46:19 - 00:06:49:17
to make sure they're nice and firm

00:06:49:17 - 00:06:51:21
on the ground.

00:06:51:21 - 00:06:52:19
and you're done.

00:06:52:19 - 00:06:54:13
and you wait for Mother Nature.

00:06:54:23 - 00:06:55:23
You're probably wondering

00:06:55:23 - 00:06:58:05
about the size of my farm.

00:06:58:05 - 00:07:01:14
It is 54 acres.

00:07:01:14 - 00:07:04:01
The boundary extends right over there

00:07:04:01 - 00:07:05:23
from those trees

00:07:05:23 - 00:07:08:03
to the trees on this side.

00:07:08:03 - 00:07:11:04
And then it goes three miles

00:07:11:04 - 00:07:12:08
from the river

00:07:12:08 - 00:07:13:08
to the highway,

00:07:13:08 - 00:07:14:22
from the highway to the ditch

00:07:14:22 - 00:07:16:17
and beyond the ditch.

00:07:16:17 - 00:07:17:15
Altogether, that's

00:07:17:15 - 00:07:20:13
approximately five kilometres.

00:07:20:13 - 00:07:22:05
When I plant my cucumbers,

00:07:22:05 - 00:07:23:13
my cantaloupe,

00:07:23:22 - 00:07:25:22
and my watermelon,

00:07:25:22 - 00:07:27:13
as soon as they come up,

00:07:27:13 - 00:07:30:16
I pick the three best plants

00:07:30:16 - 00:07:32:11
and I put a little

00:07:32:11 - 00:07:34:12
open tuna tin

00:07:34:12 - 00:07:35:13
above those plants.

00:07:36:07 - 00:07:37:06
This prevents

00:07:37:06 - 00:07:38:12
any cut worms

00:07:38:12 - 00:07:39:07
that might like

00:07:39:07 - 00:07:41:12
to have their dinner.

00:07:41:12 - 00:07:43:20
When the cucumber plants are

00:07:43:20 - 00:07:45:06
nice and big,

00:07:45:06 - 00:07:45:21
then I take

00:07:45:21 - 00:07:48:02
off the tin cans

00:07:48:02 - 00:07:49:01
so far

00:07:49:01 - 00:07:50:18
in all the years are planted them.

00:07:50:18 - 00:07:52:08
I've never had a cut worm

00:07:52:08 - 00:07:54:21
for those tiny plants.

00:07:54:21 - 00:07:55:23
Of course, when they get

00:07:55:23 - 00:07:56:17
grow older

00:07:57:14 - 00:08:00:02
I take all those tin cans off,

00:08:00:02 - 00:08:01:16
but they're a real big help.

00:08:01:16 - 00:08:02:14
A lot of people

00:08:02:14 - 00:08:05:14
get cut worms in their garden.

00:08:13:21 - 00:08:14:22
First saved message

00:08:14:22 - 00:08:15:23
Hi Amalie

00:08:16:21 - 00:08:18:03
I would like to know

00:08:18:03 - 00:08:19:09
if you are interested

00:08:19:09 - 00:08:20:15
in strawberries,

00:08:20:15 - 00:08:21:02
or in

00:08:21:02 - 00:08:22:20
saskatoons.

00:08:22:20 - 00:08:26:01
strawberry picking and saskatoon picking has begun.

00:08:27:05 - 00:08:28:22
And if I don't hear from you,

00:08:28:22 - 00:08:31:08
you will not get any fruit.

00:08:31:08 - 00:08:32:12
I would like to know

00:08:32:12 - 00:08:33:12
if you would like some

00:08:33:18 - 00:08:35:05
and how much you want.

00:08:35:10 - 00:08:36:02
Okay, it is

00:08:37:09 - 00:08:38:12
4:40

00:08:38:22 - 00:08:40:06
on Canada Day

00:08:40:22 - 00:08:42:08
so please let me know

00:08:43:15 - 00:08:44:10
soon

00:08:44:10 - 00:08:46:17
if you are interested in some fruit

00:08:46:17 - 00:08:47:18
and also some pickles.

00:08:48:22 - 00:08:51:09
Things that seem to be a little lighter now

00:08:51:09 - 00:08:51:19
So

00:08:51:19 - 00:08:53:09
You probably should be able to get

00:08:53:09 - 00:08:54:07
to Manitoba

00:08:54:07 - 00:08:56:04
without being quarantined.

00:08:56:15 - 00:08:57:03
Thank you.

00:08:57:03 - 00:08:58:11
Bye for now.

00:11:52:17 - 00:11:55:05
You shouldn't have washed them.

00:11:55:13 - 00:11:57:11
That's not a good idea.

00:11:58:09 - 00:12:01:09
Cause you're adding a lot of moisture.

00:12:01:22 - 00:12:02:22
Did you hear me,

00:12:03:18 - 00:12:04:09
Amalie?

00:12:04:09 - 00:12:05:21
Did you hear that?

00:12:06:15 - 00:12:09:02
They would rot faster

00:12:09:02 - 00:12:10:12
if you do that.

00:12:11:03 - 00:12:14:03
They’re far wetter than they should be.

00:12:16:06 - 00:12:16:17
They feel

00:12:16:17 - 00:12:18:07
just like you washed them.

00:12:20:13 - 00:12:21:07
They do

00:12:23:15 - 00:12:25:08
Don't you think so?

00:12:26:04 - 00:12:26:22
Feel them!

00:12:30:15 - 00:12:32:17
I’ve been picking strawberries for many years,

00:12:32:17 - 00:12:33:09
but this year

00:12:34:04 - 00:12:35:10
somebody told me they had

00:12:35:10 - 00:12:36:15
heard something new,

00:12:36:15 - 00:12:38:08
that if you put strawberries

00:12:38:08 - 00:12:39:08
that are nice and crisp

00:12:39:08 - 00:12:41:12
into a jar and seal it,

00:12:41:12 - 00:12:44:06
it will last fresh much longer.

00:12:44:06 - 00:12:47:09
So I tried it out on a quart sealer

00:12:47:09 - 00:12:49:15
and I ate the last of them 10 days

00:12:49:15 - 00:12:50:13
later

00:12:50:13 - 00:12:52:22
and they were still nice and crisp,

00:12:52:22 - 00:12:54:14
and I thought it was a good idea.

00:13:06:06 - 00:13:07:04
This was a very

00:13:07:04 - 00:13:10:09
young tree, in 1948.

00:13:10:09 - 00:13:12:22
My little sister looked out the window

00:13:12:22 - 00:13:15:07
in the middle of a bad rainstorm,

00:13:15:07 - 00:13:16:14
and she said,

00:13:16:14 - 00:13:18:05
I wish that tree would come down.

00:13:18:05 - 00:13:20:04
And just after she said it

00:13:20:04 - 00:13:21:21
the tree came down.

00:13:22:14 - 00:13:25:05
Over the years, one branch

00:13:25:05 - 00:13:26:17
after another came down

00:13:26:17 - 00:13:28:03
one after another,

00:13:28:11 - 00:13:29:14
and finally,

00:13:30:04 - 00:13:33:08
there's one big branch that’s still left,

00:13:33:08 - 00:13:35:16
and the tree is still alive

00:13:35:16 - 00:13:37:17
after all these years.

00:13:49:22 - 00:13:51:23
I would go early in the spring.

00:13:51:23 - 00:13:53:11
Put potatoes on a rack

00:13:53:11 - 00:13:55:12
so that they would sprout.

00:13:55:12 - 00:13:57:11
And then when planting time came,

00:13:57:11 - 00:13:58:13
we’d skip school

00:13:58:13 - 00:14:00:16
and plant the potatoes.

00:14:00:16 - 00:14:03:10
In the summertime we would dig them early

00:14:03:10 - 00:14:06:07
and sell them in July and August.

00:14:06:07 - 00:14:08:03
If the neighbours needed any help,

00:14:08:03 - 00:14:09:23
then we would skip school

00:14:09:23 - 00:14:13:16
and go and earn some money

00:14:13:16 - 00:14:17:19
because money wasn’t growing on trees

00:14:17:19 - 00:14:19:12
because we were a large family.

00:14:19:12 - 00:14:21:19
And Dad was the only wage earner

00:14:21:19 - 00:14:23:16
We tried to earn as much money

00:14:23:16 - 00:14:26:16
as we possibly could in the summer.

00:14:49:23 - 00:14:51:00
In the latter years,

00:14:51:07 - 00:14:52:22
mother was in a wheelchair

00:14:52:22 - 00:14:54:13
Dad continued to garden

00:14:54:13 - 00:14:56:02
so there was a lot of gardening work

00:14:56:02 - 00:14:57:00
to be done

00:14:57:00 - 00:14:58:01
all summer

00:14:58:01 - 00:15:00:02
and also a lot of canning.

00:15:00:02 - 00:15:02:13
When mother turned 85 years,

00:15:03:00 - 00:15:04:10
I counted one summer

00:15:04:10 - 00:15:05:16
the number of jars

00:15:05:16 - 00:15:07:22
that she had canned for the winter,

00:15:07:22 - 00:15:09:12
and you won't believe this

00:15:09:12 - 00:15:10:03
but it was

00:15:10:03 - 00:15:12:09
over 200 jars

00:15:13:03 - 00:15:15:00
of all kinds of stuff.

00:15:15:00 - 00:15:18:01
Fruits and vegetables and whatever

00:15:18:01 - 00:15:20:13
tomato juice was one of her specialties.

00:15:20:13 - 00:15:23:05
she always made a lot of that

00:15:23:05 - 00:15:24:06
to give away

00:15:24:06 - 00:15:24:20
for the winter

00:15:24:20 - 00:15:28:04
whenever somebody would come to visit.

00:15:53:19 - 00:15:56:19
I don’t know if I’ll be able to do this all in one

00:15:56:19 - 00:15:59:14
might take more than one

00:15:59:14 - 00:16:02:14
once I get a start

00:16:07:22 - 00:16:09:09
There we go.

00:16:13:05 - 00:16:15:03
Now you know why I wanted the gloves.

00:16:23:01 - 00:16:24:13
We’ll go in and have a bowl of soup

00:16:24:13 - 00:16:27:13
and some apple pie when you're done.

00:16:32:18 - 00:16:33:23
Okay,

00:16:33:23 - 00:16:36:10
turn your camera a little bit.

00:16:36:10 - 00:16:38:17
Do you want to take some of these home?

00:16:39:10 - 00:16:40:14
I'll pick some for you.

00:16:46:05 - 00:16:46:17
Tomatoes

00:16:46:17 - 00:16:47:08
are covered

00:16:47:08 - 00:16:48:16
because of the grasshoppers.

00:16:48:16 - 00:16:50:21
Two, three, four, five,

00:16:50:21 - 00:16:51:23
six, seven, eight.

00:16:51:23 - 00:16:53:04
Each gets four.

00:17:04:11 - 00:17:06:18
Careful, I don’t want to burn you

00:17:06:18 - 00:17:07:22
You’re very close Tanj

00:17:07:22 - 00:17:09:15
Amalie

00:17:15:00 - 00:17:15:23
How much rhubarb sauce

00:17:15:23 - 00:17:16:19
are you going to eat?

00:17:19:20 - 00:17:21:02
It's going to be a little thick.

00:17:24:09 - 00:17:25:17
The sauce is never too sweet

00:17:25:17 - 00:17:27:05
because rhubarb is very sour.

00:17:41:18 - 00:17:42:09
I fell off

00:17:42:09 - 00:17:43:01
a ladder once,

00:17:43:01 - 00:17:43:19
and I said

00:17:43:19 - 00:17:46:05
Someday this is going to come to haunt me.

00:17:46:12 - 00:17:48:09
I was cleaning the eavestroughs.

00:17:49:04 - 00:17:51:05
I did it for many years.

00:17:51:05 - 00:17:53:12
We have a small window on the stairwell.

00:17:53:12 - 00:17:56:19
My ladder was not set up for that window.

00:17:57:05 - 00:17:57:21
It was too steep.

00:17:57:21 - 00:17:58:23
And the ladder gave in.

00:17:59:23 - 00:18:01:13
I had a fractured vertebrae.

00:18:01:13 - 00:18:02:13
Actually, I've had it three times.

00:18:03:20 - 00:18:04:18
That doesn't help.

00:18:04:18 - 00:18:05:18
One time it happened.

00:18:05:18 - 00:18:07:03
I didn't even know

00:18:07:03 - 00:18:08:16
why it happened.

00:18:08:16 - 00:18:09:10
It just happened.

00:18:57:22 - 00:19:00:07
We lose a lot of trees.

00:19:00:09 - 00:19:01:11
There's one over there.

00:19:01:11 - 00:19:02:13
By the house,

00:19:02:13 - 00:19:03:08
by the old kitchen.

00:19:03:20 - 00:19:05:01
It came down recently.

00:19:05:06 - 00:19:06:11
And the one behind that

00:19:06:11 - 00:19:08:04
where we had made a road

00:19:08:04 - 00:19:09:20
for them to drive.

00:19:09:20 - 00:19:11:15
And then there's another one over here,

00:19:11:15 - 00:19:12:23
at the edge of the garden,

00:19:12:23 - 00:19:13:17
and another one

00:19:13:17 - 00:19:15:16
on the other side of the garden.

00:19:15:16 - 00:19:17:19
And then this huge tree here

00:19:17:19 - 00:19:20:00
which completely obstructed our road.

00:19:21:05 - 00:19:21:13
That's not

00:19:21:13 - 00:19:22:12
all of them.

00:19:27:12 - 00:19:30:09
I'm always glad when it rains.

00:19:30:09 - 00:19:31:00
Lots

00:19:31:00 - 00:19:33:19
So this barrel is full.

00:19:33:19 - 00:19:36:23
Then the water on top is nice and clear.

00:19:36:23 - 00:19:38:21
Usually.

00:19:48:21 - 00:19:49:22
If you just want one

00:19:49:22 - 00:19:51:13
I'm going to take it over there now.

00:19:59:19 - 00:20:02:16
I used to fill these up, but it’s too heavy.

00:20:02:16 - 00:20:04:11
Now I bring them up here,

00:20:04:11 - 00:20:05:04
and then

00:20:05:04 - 00:20:06:07
I fill it up.

00:20:18:03 - 00:20:19:09
And this is the rain water

00:20:19:09 - 00:20:21:18
Thanks to Mother Nature

00:20:21:18 - 00:20:24:00
has supplied me well

00:20:24:00 - 00:20:25:17
for quite a long time.

00:20:26:06 - 00:20:26:17
I'm known

00:20:26:17 - 00:20:29:06
as the duct tape queen in our family.

00:20:29:06 - 00:20:30:06
I get teased a lot

00:20:30:06 - 00:20:31:11
by my brothers and sisters

00:20:31:11 - 00:20:32:20
because they say

00:20:32:20 - 00:20:33:20
something goes wrong,

00:20:33:20 - 00:20:35:04
just as Agatha

00:20:35:04 - 00:20:37:22
she’ll fix it with duct tape.

00:20:37:22 - 00:20:39:23
And I love it because it really helps

00:20:39:23 - 00:20:43:01
me make old stuff waterproof.

00:20:43:01 - 00:20:44:15
And I can use it over and over again

00:20:44:15 - 00:20:47:15
on pails, on dippers, and whatever I need.

00:20:56:10 - 00:20:57:11
What you do

00:20:57:11 - 00:21:01:05
first masking tape, then duct tape.

00:21:01:05 - 00:21:04:09
And it will hold forever.

00:21:04:09 - 00:21:05:11
When they built this house,

00:21:05:11 - 00:21:06:21
bought this house,

00:21:06:21 - 00:21:09:07
none of the storm windows fit,

00:21:09:07 - 00:21:11:06
so I had to figure out a solution.

00:21:11:06 - 00:21:12:19
I put masking tape

00:21:12:19 - 00:21:14:10
on all the storm windows,

00:21:15:10 - 00:21:16:08
and then I put

00:21:16:08 - 00:21:18:13
duct, white duct tape

00:21:18:13 - 00:21:20:06
on all the windows, as you can see

00:21:20:06 - 00:21:22:19
so they match the painting that I did

00:21:22:19 - 00:21:23:23
a couple of years ago.

00:21:23:23 - 00:21:25:22
But on the whole,

00:21:25:22 - 00:21:28:16
they keep the mosquitoes and flies out

00:21:28:16 - 00:21:29:16
pretty good.

00:21:29:16 - 00:21:32:16
And the inside window is not too bad too.

00:21:35:04 - 00:21:36:02
They put a

00:21:36:20 - 00:21:39:13
line in my, in my arm.

00:21:39:13 - 00:21:41:18
but it

00:21:41:18 - 00:21:44:00
kept falling apart

00:21:44:20 - 00:21:46:11
the tape was always loose

00:21:46:11 - 00:21:47:03
and falling

00:21:47:03 - 00:21:49:07
dangling all over the place.

00:21:49:19 - 00:21:51:22
So I asked if they had any tape

00:21:53:01 - 00:21:54:18
No, they didn't have any tape

00:21:55:04 - 00:21:56:23
When she came to do something,

00:21:56:23 - 00:21:58:17
she put the tape on the table

00:21:58:17 - 00:22:00:05
and I quickly grabbed it,

00:22:00:05 - 00:22:01:18
stuck it in my purse,

00:22:01:18 - 00:22:03:02
so now I have tape

00:22:03:02 - 00:22:04:21
So I’ve used this tape all week

00:22:04:21 - 00:22:06:22
It’s come in very handy

00:22:06:22 - 00:22:07:18
And it belongs to them,

00:22:07:18 - 00:22:08:04
but,

00:22:08:13 - 00:22:10:00
that's okay.

00:22:21:20 - 00:22:23:10
I thought I would pick three

00:22:24:08 - 00:22:25:16
Zinnia is my favourite flower.

00:22:26:09 - 00:22:29:06
The deer don't even like it.

00:22:29:06 - 00:22:31:09
My brother didn't water them

00:22:31:09 - 00:22:32:13
when I was gone

00:22:32:13 - 00:22:33:10
When I came back,

00:22:33:10 - 00:22:35:00
they were almost all done.

00:22:36:02 - 00:22:36:10
But

00:22:36:20 - 00:22:37:13
one survived.

00:22:40:16 - 00:22:42:02
And I watered it faithfully

00:22:42:02 - 00:22:45:02
because I wanted it to grow.

00:23:27:16 - 00:23:30:05
When I pick the cucumbers,

00:23:30:05 - 00:23:32:18
I turn all the plants over

00:23:33:03 - 00:23:34:14
soI can see the underside.

00:23:35:12 - 00:23:36:19
If you just look on top off

00:23:36:19 - 00:23:38:14
you often miss most of them.

00:23:39:02 - 00:23:40:00
And I personally

00:23:40:00 - 00:23:41:20
like to pick small cucumbers

00:23:41:20 - 00:23:42:23
so I pick them about

00:23:42:23 - 00:23:44:12
every 2 or 3 days

00:23:44:12 - 00:23:47:01
before they get too big.

00:23:47:14 - 00:23:49:04
It's more work of course,

00:23:49:04 - 00:23:51:05
because you have to

00:23:51:05 - 00:23:52:21
pick them when they're small and

00:23:52:21 - 00:23:54:17
pick some more cucumbers to

00:23:55:04 - 00:23:55:22
pickle them,

00:23:55:22 - 00:23:57:06
but that's how I like to do it.

00:23:59:20 - 00:24:00:17
There’s a bee

00:24:01:11 - 00:24:03:03
she wants the watermelon too.

00:24:04:02 - 00:24:04:22
Get out of there!

00:24:07:03 - 00:24:09:03
Should’ve taken the big knife.

00:24:09:17 - 00:24:12:06
It's going to take a little while.

00:24:12:06 - 00:24:13:07
You know, they’re very

00:24:13:07 - 00:24:14:03
thick walled

00:24:14:03 - 00:24:16:10
because it's been so dry.

00:24:17:01 - 00:24:18:16
It’s hard to get a start

00:24:21:09 - 00:24:22:03
Gettin’ there

00:24:23:05 - 00:24:24:04
Come on.

00:24:25:04 - 00:24:26:05
Yeah, it's ripe!

00:24:26:21 - 00:24:28:14
It looks like it is.

00:24:30:23 - 00:24:32:13
Looks pretty red from here.

00:24:32:13 - 00:24:35:06
Normally it doesn't take me this long.

00:24:37:07 - 00:24:38:05
There.

00:24:38:05 - 00:24:39:14
If you're not sure

00:24:39:14 - 00:24:42:00
which watermelon is ripe,

00:24:42:00 - 00:24:45:00
you can sometimes tell by the sound.

00:24:51:14 - 00:24:53:00
Then I take the third one,

00:24:53:00 - 00:24:56:00
which I was thinking might be.

00:24:57:17 - 00:25:00:17
And it has a much duller sound.

00:25:01:05 - 00:25:02:14
And when I opened it,

00:25:02:14 - 00:25:04:21
it was actually ripe.

00:25:04:21 - 00:25:05:12
I opened it

00:25:05:12 - 00:25:06:18
by making a little V

00:25:06:18 - 00:25:08:18
at the top of the watermelon,

00:25:08:18 - 00:25:11:05
and then I can tell if it's ripe or not.

00:25:11:05 - 00:25:12:21
The other thing you can do is

00:25:12:21 - 00:25:14:16
look for the little curly

00:25:14:16 - 00:25:16:19
at the end of the watermelon.

00:25:16:19 - 00:25:18:11
if that is wilted.

00:25:18:11 - 00:25:20:06
That might be another sign,

00:25:20:06 - 00:25:22:20
but that's generally how I kind of guess.

00:25:23:08 - 00:25:24:03
And this time I guessed right.

00:25:31:07 - 00:25:32:11
See, these might be ripe.

00:25:32:11 - 00:25:33:07
Look at the

00:25:34:02 - 00:25:34:19
how the

00:25:34:19 - 00:25:37:10
thing is completely dry

00:25:37:10 - 00:25:38:06
but probably not.

00:25:38:06 - 00:25:40:10
They're not the right size.

00:25:40:10 - 00:25:42:12
They should be bigger.

00:25:43:16 - 00:25:45:03
The slugs get underneath

00:25:45:03 - 00:25:46:22
and eat the shell

00:25:46:22 - 00:25:48:10
if it's too wet.

00:25:49:06 - 00:25:51:20
And also the underside doesn't ripen

00:25:51:20 - 00:25:53:08
the same.

00:25:53:08 - 00:25:54:16
Usually at the beginning.

00:25:54:16 - 00:25:57:05
The underside is a lighter green,

00:25:57:05 - 00:25:58:23
which means the underside is not as ripe

00:25:58:23 - 00:26:00:00
as the upper side.

00:26:00:13 - 00:26:02:00
But it's especially important

00:26:02:00 - 00:26:03:10
when it's wet,

00:26:03:10 - 00:26:05:17
because then it's muddy underneath

00:26:05:17 - 00:26:08:11
and the slugs get in there in a few days,

00:26:08:11 - 00:26:11:10
and they literally go through that hard shell

00:26:11:18 - 00:26:14:03
and ruin the watermelon.

00:26:16:06 - 00:26:19:06
Like this.

00:26:21:09 - 00:26:24:05
Like that.

00:26:24:05 - 00:26:25:03
You can tell that

00:26:25:03 - 00:26:27:01
I've turned them a number of times

00:26:27:01 - 00:26:28:21
because they're not yellow underneath.

00:26:30:02 - 00:26:32:17
You can go get the spade for the carrots

00:26:32:17 - 00:26:33:23
in the house over there.

00:26:33:23 - 00:26:35:02
Oh we did leave it here,

00:26:35:02 - 00:26:35:18
good

00:26:36:04 - 00:26:37:04
I forgot.

00:26:46:03 - 00:26:48:22
You want the story?

00:26:48:22 - 00:26:50:21
Beau number one

00:26:50:21 - 00:26:51:14
I was teaching

00:26:51:14 - 00:26:53:07
near Arborg

00:26:53:07 - 00:26:55:00
and there was a bachelor

00:26:55:00 - 00:26:57:15
about a quarter mile from me.

00:26:57:15 - 00:26:58:19
He took a shine to me,

00:26:58:19 - 00:27:00:23
so he cut his hedge down

00:27:00:23 - 00:27:01:21
so he could see me

00:27:01:21 - 00:27:03:23
when I walked across the yard.

00:27:03:23 - 00:27:04:22
Eventually

00:27:04:22 - 00:27:07:11
he gave me a ride to Winnipeg

00:27:08:08 - 00:27:09:08
and he started listening

00:27:09:08 - 00:27:10:22
to Back to the Bible broadcasts

00:27:10:22 - 00:27:12:06
because he knew I was a Christian.

00:27:12:06 - 00:27:13:14
He was a Catholic.

00:27:13:14 - 00:27:15:10
He would have loved to marry me,

00:27:16:07 - 00:27:17:23
but I would never marry a Catholic

00:27:17:23 - 00:27:19:03
because

00:27:19:03 - 00:27:21:12
Our faiths are not the same right.

00:27:21:12 - 00:27:24:08
So eventually we broke up.

00:27:24:19 - 00:27:25:21
Story number two

00:27:26:07 - 00:27:26:22
started.

00:27:26:22 - 00:27:29:00
That was very short.

00:27:29:00 - 00:27:29:18
He picked me up

00:27:29:18 - 00:27:31:17
and took me out somewhere,

00:27:31:17 - 00:27:33:18
but he never took me out again.

00:27:35:22 - 00:27:37:23
Number three

00:27:37:23 - 00:27:39:05
He had lost his wife.

00:27:39:05 - 00:27:40:11
He was a widower

00:27:40:11 - 00:27:41:19
we were at a camp together

00:27:41:19 - 00:27:43:09
and went for a walk.

00:27:43:09 - 00:27:44:21
And after that he phoned me up

00:27:44:21 - 00:27:45:15
and he said he'd

00:27:45:15 - 00:27:47:09
like to take me out to dinner.

00:27:47:09 - 00:27:48:13
So I said, okay,

00:27:48:13 - 00:27:50:03
and when we got there,

00:27:50:03 - 00:27:51:20
it was a nice restaurant,

00:27:51:20 - 00:27:53:13
he said, you know,

00:27:53:13 - 00:27:55:01
I had a good lunch today,

00:27:55:01 - 00:27:57:12
I just want a bowl of soup for supper.

00:27:57:12 - 00:27:58:21
Okay, we’ll have a bowl of soup.

00:27:59:13 - 00:28:01:07
So that was our dinner

00:28:01:07 - 00:28:02:22
engagement.

00:28:05:00 - 00:28:06:02
And then he started telling me that

00:28:06:02 - 00:28:09:07
two could live cheaper than one.

00:28:09:07 - 00:28:10:14
And the next time he called

00:28:10:14 - 00:28:10:23
he said,

00:28:10:23 - 00:28:12:10
let's go out for breakfast

00:28:12:10 - 00:28:13:21
cause it's cheaper.

00:28:13:21 - 00:28:14:17
And I thought

00:28:14:17 - 00:28:16:06
now you nailed the coffin.

00:28:16:06 - 00:28:17:02
And I said to him, you know,

00:28:17:02 - 00:28:18:20
I have never had a lot,

00:28:18:20 - 00:28:20:12
but I’ve always had enough to live on.

00:28:20:12 - 00:28:22:01
if you think that you can't afford

00:28:22:01 - 00:28:23:19
to take me out for lunch?

00:28:23:19 - 00:28:25:10
You think I'm going to marry you?

00:28:25:16 - 00:28:27:07
I'm not interested.

00:28:28:14 - 00:28:31:16
Then you shouldn't even be courting me.

00:28:31:16 - 00:28:34:16
But end of story, he got married,

00:28:35:10 - 00:28:36:04
but not to me.

00:28:37:12 - 00:28:39:07
I never heard anybody say

00:28:39:07 - 00:28:41:04
breakfast is cheaper than lunch.

00:28:41:04 - 00:28:43:06
Never marry somebody like that.

00:28:44:19 - 00:28:46:15
If it's not true love, you're much happier

00:28:46:15 - 00:28:48:03
being single,

00:28:48:03 - 00:28:49:22
which I have been all my life.

00:28:49:22 - 00:28:51:06
I've never really been

00:28:51:06 - 00:28:52:03
very lonely

00:28:52:03 - 00:28:55:00
cause I’ve always had something to do.

00:28:55:15 - 00:28:57:04
I still have.

00:29:01:11 - 00:29:03:13
Looks like a fairly good crop this year.

00:29:07:02 - 00:29:07:19
In spite of

00:29:07:19 - 00:29:10:04
all the drought

00:29:10:04 - 00:29:11:18
oh, there’s one that

00:29:11:18 - 00:29:13:11
the grasshopper got.

00:29:17:14 - 00:29:20:14
Wow, what a nice crop here.

00:29:29:14 - 00:29:31:19
Oh, isn’t this is going to be nice

00:29:31:19 - 00:29:35:15
ripe tomato sandwiches.

00:29:49:02 - 00:29:50:22
I found out a long time ago

00:29:50:22 - 00:29:52:18
that if I didn't want to be alone

00:29:52:18 - 00:29:53:13
too much,

00:29:53:13 - 00:29:54:03
I should

00:29:54:03 - 00:29:56:20
reach out to others.

00:29:56:20 - 00:29:58:13
And so I can't really say

00:29:58:13 - 00:30:00:12
that I've been alone a lot.

00:30:24:10 - 00:30:27:00
Some of these are green at the top.

00:30:27:00 - 00:30:28:19
You’ll have to cut the green off

00:30:28:19 - 00:30:31:19
cause it's poisonous.

00:30:38:17 - 00:30:40:14
Whenever you get fresh carrots

00:30:40:14 - 00:30:43:00
you should always take the top off

00:30:43:00 - 00:30:44:08
the green off right away.

00:30:44:08 - 00:30:47:05
Otherwise they wilt.

00:30:49:01 - 00:30:51:00
They keep best in newspaper

00:30:51:00 - 00:30:53:08
better than with paper towel.

00:30:53:08 - 00:30:54:04
and I keep them

00:30:54:04 - 00:30:54:16
almost

00:30:54:16 - 00:30:55:17
from one crop

00:30:55:17 - 00:30:57:17
to the next.

00:30:59:18 - 00:31:02:14
I usually save about a shoebox full.

00:31:04:18 - 00:31:06:14
You wrap it up flat like this

00:31:08:02 - 00:31:10:22
I would put plastic in the box,

00:31:11:11 - 00:31:13:14
and then put a layer of newspaper,

00:31:13:14 - 00:31:14:09
and then a layer

00:31:14:09 - 00:31:15:06
of carrots

00:31:15:06 - 00:31:16:11
and a layer of newspaper,

00:31:16:11 - 00:31:18:11
and a layer of carrots.

00:31:18:11 - 00:31:20:02
That's it.

00:31:20:02 - 00:31:21:16
I'm done.

00:31:21:16 - 00:31:22:18
Finished.

00:31:56:16 - 00:31:58:13
Almost fall

00:31:58:13 - 00:32:00:06
in all that dill.

00:32:01:09 - 00:32:02:07
My wrist is fine.

00:32:02:07 - 00:32:03:20
I just broke my thumb.

00:32:03:20 - 00:32:05:06
I fell backwards

00:32:05:06 - 00:32:06:11
flat on my back.

00:32:06:11 - 00:32:08:19
and I guess I hit that metal thing there,

00:32:08:19 - 00:32:10:04
and cracked it.

00:32:10:04 - 00:32:11:19
Brand new equipment,

00:32:11:19 - 00:32:12:20
and it just breaks

00:32:12:20 - 00:32:14:18
when you put your arm on it.

00:32:14:18 - 00:32:16:10
The old drainpipes

00:32:16:10 - 00:32:17:15
we had were so strong

00:32:17:15 - 00:32:19:15
you couldn't even hardly cut them.

00:32:19:15 - 00:32:21:16
Never mind bend them.

00:32:21:16 - 00:32:23:00
Not anymore.

00:32:28:20 - 00:32:29:15
My earliest

00:32:29:15 - 00:32:30:12
very earliest

00:32:30:12 - 00:32:34:07
recollection is of the death of my

00:32:34:07 - 00:32:35:13
baby sister

00:32:35:13 - 00:32:37:10
She was six months old

00:32:37:10 - 00:32:40:09
and I was quite young.

00:32:40:09 - 00:32:41:20
After Helen's death,

00:32:41:20 - 00:32:44:18
the next one was my younger sister,

00:32:44:18 - 00:32:46:18
Mary.

00:32:46:18 - 00:32:48:19
She had tuberculosis of the spine

00:32:48:19 - 00:32:50:07
and also a heart condition.

00:32:50:07 - 00:32:53:07
She spent six months in hospital

00:32:53:07 - 00:32:56:03
and finally she succumbed to the surgery

00:32:56:03 - 00:32:57:20
because her heart was too weak

00:32:57:20 - 00:33:00:20
She was almost ten.

00:33:03:10 - 00:33:05:12
The third one

00:33:05:12 - 00:33:06:10
was my sister

00:33:06:10 - 00:33:08:21
Elizabeth.

00:33:08:21 - 00:33:12:03
She also had a heart condition

00:33:12:03 - 00:33:15:01
and she had just turned 20,

00:33:15:01 - 00:33:17:00
I was 18.

00:33:17:00 - 00:33:19:18
That was probably the hardest one for me

00:33:19:18 - 00:33:23:02
because we were very close

00:33:23:02 - 00:33:25:00
and she died in my arms

00:33:25:00 - 00:33:27:00
at home

00:33:27:00 - 00:33:30:20
in December.

00:33:33:22 - 00:33:35:11
The last one was the one

00:33:35:11 - 00:33:37:15
we least expected.

00:33:37:15 - 00:33:40:23
The last one was my younger sister,

00:33:40:23 - 00:33:42:08
Elfrieda

00:33:42:08 - 00:33:44:23
Her death was very unexpected,

00:33:44:23 - 00:33:49:09
we all expected her to live a long time.

00:33:49:09 - 00:33:51:16
And when Ed answered the phone.

00:33:51:16 - 00:33:53:18
He said you can't talk to her.

00:33:54:06 - 00:33:57:04
She is already gone.

00:34:02:18 - 00:34:04:12
I have sometimes felt

00:34:04:12 - 00:34:06:02
that I will be going,

00:34:06:02 - 00:34:07:03
and that's okay,

00:34:07:03 - 00:34:08:01
cause I'm ready,

00:34:08:01 - 00:34:09:19
no matter when.

00:34:29:04 - 00:34:31:06
I don't snack a lot,

00:34:31:06 - 00:34:32:15
but when I'm out the country

00:34:32:15 - 00:34:34:15
and I want to work

00:34:34:15 - 00:34:36:20
usually around 4:00 in the afternoon

00:34:36:20 - 00:34:39:03
I have a chocolate and four almonds.

00:34:39:03 - 00:34:41:21
then I can go til it’s dark

00:34:41:21 - 00:34:44:22
and people think that I should eat more,

00:34:44:22 - 00:34:47:22
but I think I eat enough,

00:34:48:01 - 00:34:50:01
and

00:34:50:01 - 00:34:51:21
I don't know,

00:34:51:21 - 00:34:54:18
I eat breakfast, lunch, and supper,

00:34:54:18 - 00:34:56:22
but supper isn’t a very big deal.

00:34:56:22 - 00:34:58:15
Usually I have

00:34:58:15 - 00:35:00:08
a slice of homemade brown bread

00:35:00:08 - 00:35:01:10
and white bread

00:35:01:10 - 00:35:02:20
and the radish in the middle.

00:35:02:20 - 00:35:04:05
That's my supper.

00:35:04:05 - 00:35:05:07
My standard supper.

00:35:22:17 - 00:35:24:00
This is what we call

00:35:24:00 - 00:35:25:01
sugar beans.

00:35:25:01 - 00:35:26:12
They're actually a dry bean.

00:35:27:12 - 00:35:28:05
And some of the

00:35:28:05 - 00:35:29:12
challenges are that

00:35:29:12 - 00:35:30:12
if the plants are young

00:35:30:12 - 00:35:32:07
and the temperature is right,

00:35:32:07 - 00:35:33:09
the canola beetle

00:35:33:09 - 00:35:33:21
will

00:35:33:21 - 00:35:36:12
can destroy the whole crop.

00:35:36:12 - 00:35:36:23
This year,

00:35:36:23 - 00:35:38:22
I only have one row for the family.

00:35:38:22 - 00:35:40:08
I'm no longer selling them.

00:35:40:23 - 00:35:42:05
And I'm getting older.

00:35:42:05 - 00:35:43:08
I'm 86 now,

00:35:43:08 - 00:35:44:16
so I think I don't have to have

00:35:44:16 - 00:35:49:13
such a big garden anymore.

00:35:49:13 - 00:35:50:10
This year

00:35:50:10 - 00:35:52:21
I had a different case of survival,

00:35:52:21 - 00:35:53:11
when we got

00:35:53:11 - 00:35:55:04
15 minutes of

00:35:55:04 - 00:35:57:12
fairly severe hail,

00:35:57:12 - 00:35:59:20
and so my plants are far behind.

00:35:59:20 - 00:36:00:09
Right now

00:36:00:09 - 00:36:02:05
they should be in full bloom,

00:36:02:05 - 00:36:05:05
and many of them are just beginning to think about it.

00:36:05:13 - 00:36:07:06
As soon as they're up I hill them

00:36:07:06 - 00:36:10:06
a week or so later, I hill them again.

00:36:10:17 - 00:36:11:09
And right now

00:36:11:09 - 00:36:13:09
they need another good hilling,

00:36:13:09 - 00:36:15:04
which means you have to put the soil

00:36:15:22 - 00:36:17:22
higher on both sides of the plant.

00:36:18:19 - 00:36:19:16
This is what

00:36:19:16 - 00:36:20:16
you see

00:36:20:16 - 00:36:23:06
in hail damage

00:36:23:06 - 00:36:26:23
it will completely destroy the leaves.

00:36:26:23 - 00:36:29:05
This is the size they should be

00:36:29:05 - 00:36:32:17
when they're about 2 or 3 weeks old,

00:36:33:02 - 00:36:34:08
and this is the size

00:36:34:08 - 00:36:36:06
that they should be, at least this height

00:36:36:06 - 00:36:37:13
or more

00:36:37:13 - 00:36:38:05
These beans

00:36:38:05 - 00:36:39:17
should be in full bloom

00:36:39:17 - 00:36:41:06
everywhere.

00:36:41:06 - 00:36:43:00
Part of the reason why these beans

00:36:43:00 - 00:36:44:05
a little later this year

00:36:44:05 - 00:36:46:12
is because I was sick a lot last winter.

00:36:46:12 - 00:36:48:12
I didn't get here until it was June

00:36:48:12 - 00:36:50:23
before I was able to plant,

00:36:50:23 - 00:36:53:07
so it took a while for them to come up.

00:36:53:07 - 00:36:55:06
might still get a crop,

00:36:55:06 - 00:36:56:15
of some kind.

00:36:56:15 - 00:36:58:03
so that I have fresh seed

00:36:58:03 - 00:37:00:04
in case I do the garden again.

00:37:00:04 - 00:37:03:11
You never know from one year to the next

00:37:03:11 - 00:37:04:15
what's going to happen.

00:37:07:00 - 00:37:08:08
Pretty little flower, isn’t it?

00:37:12:19 - 00:37:15:18
We’ve had quite a heatwave here

00:37:15:18 - 00:37:16:18
I can’t believe it

00:37:16:18 - 00:37:17:12
I have fans,

00:37:17:12 - 00:37:18:14
but I don't

00:37:18:14 - 00:37:20:08
need a lot of fans

00:37:20:08 - 00:37:22:00
I've one fan going upstairs.

00:37:25:07 - 00:37:26:11
Plus the ones in the basement

00:37:26:11 - 00:37:28:07
The basement is the most important one.

00:37:49:00 - 00:37:50:18
When we lived on the farm,

00:37:50:18 - 00:37:51:14
we had a well,

00:37:51:14 - 00:37:53:12
but you had to put the rope down

00:37:53:12 - 00:37:55:16
to bring up pail by pail.

00:37:55:16 - 00:37:57:13
We went into the bush and picked

00:37:57:13 - 00:37:59:09
wild raspberries,

00:37:59:09 - 00:38:01:05
took them on the bicycle

00:38:01:05 - 00:38:03:12
a mile away to the storekeeper

00:38:03:12 - 00:38:05:10
for a dollar a pail.

00:38:05:10 - 00:38:06:17
We earned $12.

00:38:07:09 - 00:38:08:11
And then

00:38:08:11 - 00:38:10:02
a travelling salesman

00:38:10:02 - 00:38:10:17
came by

00:38:10:17 - 00:38:11:15
and said

00:38:11:15 - 00:38:12:03
I have

00:38:12:03 - 00:38:12:18
water

00:38:12:18 - 00:38:14:05
pumps for sale

00:38:14:13 - 00:38:15:04
How much?

00:38:15:10 - 00:38:17:14
$12.

00:38:17:14 - 00:38:19:22
And we paid for a pump

00:38:19:22 - 00:38:21:15
put a cover on our well.

00:38:21:15 - 00:38:23:18
And we were so proud,

00:38:23:18 - 00:38:25:08
because we girls

00:38:25:08 - 00:38:26:09
had earned

00:38:26:09 - 00:38:27:20
the pump for the well.

00:38:28:23 - 00:38:30:07
I'll never forget that,

00:38:30:07 - 00:38:33:00
how happy we were that we had a pump

00:38:33:00 - 00:38:34:00
I was always scared

00:38:34:00 - 00:38:36:01
I was going to fall into the well

00:38:36:01 - 00:38:37:01
cause you had to look down

00:38:37:01 - 00:38:38:04
to where the water was

00:38:38:04 - 00:38:39:02
and then bring it all up,

00:38:39:02 - 00:38:41:11
pail by pail.

00:38:41:11 - 00:38:42:14
And I was just a kid

00:38:42:14 - 00:38:44:20
between grade one and grade four.

00:39:01:20 - 00:39:04:09
In 2011,

00:39:04:09 - 00:39:06:09
we had a massive flood.

00:39:06:09 - 00:39:08:01
The basement was so high

00:39:08:01 - 00:39:08:20
one year

00:39:08:20 - 00:39:09:07
that I had

00:39:09:07 - 00:39:10:12
to go in there

00:39:10:12 - 00:39:12:00
with hip waders.

00:39:12:00 - 00:39:12:19
For years

00:39:12:19 - 00:39:14:07
there was water in the basement

00:39:14:07 - 00:39:16:09
so that I could not connect

00:39:16:09 - 00:39:17:11
the running water.

00:39:17:11 - 00:39:19:23
John tried to connect it, a couple of years

00:39:19:23 - 00:39:22:02
he was able to get it connected,

00:39:22:02 - 00:39:23:18
but with difficulty

00:39:23:18 - 00:39:24:13
but eventually

00:39:24:13 - 00:39:26:21
he listened to me this year

00:39:26:21 - 00:39:29:15
and found out that I was right.

00:39:29:15 - 00:39:31:21
About a week ago, I got running water

00:39:31:21 - 00:39:35:20
for the first time in about ten years.

00:39:39:12 - 00:39:41:01
But things are looking up.

00:39:41:01 - 00:39:43:05
Once the cistern was fixed,

00:39:43:05 - 00:39:46:02
I took 4 litre milk cartons

00:39:46:02 - 00:39:47:20
and watered selectively

00:39:47:20 - 00:39:50:00
some of the things that I told you about

00:39:50:07 - 00:39:51:06
the parsley,

00:39:51:06 - 00:39:52:06
and the summer savoury,

00:39:52:06 - 00:39:54:10
and the gladiolas,

00:39:54:10 - 00:39:55:11
and my beets.

00:40:45:15 - 00:40:46:17
Sometimes it curls

00:40:46:17 - 00:40:47:10
and sometimes it

00:40:47:10 - 00:40:48:15
doesn't.

00:40:57:01 - 00:40:57:12
Okay.

00:40:57:12 - 00:41:00:11
That's done.

00:41:13:19 - 00:41:15:03
One thing I really like about

00:41:15:03 - 00:41:17:23
this farm is all these big trees around here.

00:41:20:11 - 00:41:21:15
Especially the oak trees.

00:41:21:15 - 00:41:23:10
They're so beautiful.

00:41:33:06 - 00:41:34:23
I start with

00:41:34:23 - 00:41:36:12
three cups of flour

00:41:36:12 - 00:41:37:18
and a teaspoon of salt.

00:41:37:18 - 00:41:38:13
Scant.

00:41:38:13 - 00:41:41:11
And then I take a big measuring cup

00:41:41:11 - 00:41:43:07
I put half a cup of sour cream

00:41:43:07 - 00:41:45:11
and a quarter cup of cooking oil

00:41:45:11 - 00:41:47:00
and a little bit of salt.

00:41:47:00 - 00:41:47:20
a cup of

00:41:47:20 - 00:41:48:19
warm water,

00:41:49:17 - 00:41:51:22
Scant.

00:41:51:22 - 00:41:53:18
Then I put that in the microwave

00:41:53:18 - 00:41:56:18
so it's warm.

00:41:58:11 - 00:41:59:16
I think this will work.

00:42:00:23 - 00:42:03:19
It’s still not as warm as I’d like it

00:42:35:16 - 00:42:36:12
You try to make sure

00:42:36:12 - 00:42:38:22
that your cottage cheese does not

00:42:38:22 - 00:42:40:04
touch the edges.

00:42:40:04 - 00:42:41:11
If I still feel that

00:42:41:11 - 00:42:43:11
the edges are too dry,

00:42:43:11 - 00:42:44:08
I put a little bit

00:42:44:08 - 00:42:45:18
of cold water on the edge,

00:42:46:03 - 00:42:47:12
and then it will

00:42:47:12 - 00:42:49:03
stick.

00:42:49:13 - 00:42:51:06
I make the cottage cheese fine

00:42:51:06 - 00:42:51:23
by putting it in

00:42:51:23 - 00:42:53:11
a mixmaster.

00:42:53:11 - 00:42:55:04
After that you add

00:42:55:04 - 00:42:57:09
two egg yolks.

00:42:57:09 - 00:42:58:13
and mix it

00:42:58:13 - 00:42:59:18
and chill it

00:42:59:18 - 00:43:03:03
It's easier to work it into the pierogi,

00:43:03:03 - 00:43:05:10
and for the size,

00:43:05:10 - 00:43:06:03
I use a

00:43:06:03 - 00:43:08:01
pineapple tin.

00:43:08:16 - 00:43:10:21
I made dozens and dozens.

00:43:11:08 - 00:43:12:05
But it's a lot of work,

00:43:12:05 - 00:43:13:09
and people don't understand

00:43:13:09 - 00:43:14:12
how much work it is.

00:43:21:23 - 00:43:24:13
Look at the minute minder behind you there

00:43:24:13 - 00:43:25:20
On the windowsill.

00:43:25:20 - 00:43:28:13
How much time have I got?

00:45:21:09 - 00:45:23:22
My mother planted a lot of flowers.

00:45:23:22 - 00:45:25:04
She had a rock garden

00:45:25:04 - 00:45:26:09
in front of her house.

00:45:26:09 - 00:45:27:23
and another garden

00:45:27:23 - 00:45:29:18
between the trees and the yard.

00:45:29:18 - 00:45:31:05
and another flower garden

00:45:31:05 - 00:45:32:16
in the other garden.

00:45:32:16 - 00:45:34:13
She had so many beautiful flowers,

00:45:34:13 - 00:45:35:00
and they had

00:45:35:00 - 00:45:36:17
a horticultural day

00:45:36:17 - 00:45:37:22
at the school.

00:45:37:22 - 00:45:40:04
And so she brought some of her flowers, and I think

00:45:40:04 - 00:45:41:17
she got first prize

00:45:41:17 - 00:45:43:04
for 4 or 5 of them,

00:45:43:04 - 00:45:43:21
and so many

00:45:43:21 - 00:45:44:13
that they actually

00:45:44:13 - 00:45:45:16
printed it

00:45:45:16 - 00:45:47:03
in a Canadian magazine,

00:45:47:03 - 00:45:47:22
that she had won

00:45:47:22 - 00:45:49:16
so many prizes for her flowers.

00:45:50:03 - 00:45:51:02
She was embarrassed

00:45:51:02 - 00:45:52:15
that somebody should even know

00:45:52:15 - 00:45:54:05
that she did this.

00:45:54:05 - 00:45:55:18
And we were kind of happy for her

00:45:55:18 - 00:45:57:17
that she got such so much recognition

00:45:57:17 - 00:46:00:05
for all her efforts that she made

00:46:00:05 - 00:46:01:09
because all of them had been

00:46:01:09 - 00:46:02:11
first in the house,

00:46:02:11 - 00:46:03:14
then in the greenhouse,

00:46:03:14 - 00:46:04:19
and then finally in the garden.

00:46:07:09 - 00:46:08:20
The vegetable garden

00:46:08:20 - 00:46:10:04
had as many seeds

00:46:10:04 - 00:46:11:10
that you grew yourself

00:46:11:10 - 00:46:12:16
as possible.

00:46:12:18 - 00:46:15:07
You always let a few beans, a few peas,

00:46:15:07 - 00:46:17:01
a few whatever,

00:46:17:01 - 00:46:18:02
parsley,

00:46:18:13 - 00:46:19:21
summer savoury,

00:46:20:08 - 00:46:22:22
also flower seeds, of course.

00:46:22:22 - 00:46:24:10
And when they were dry,

00:46:24:10 - 00:46:25:10
and they were

00:46:25:10 - 00:46:27:00
nice looking

00:46:27:00 - 00:46:28:15
they were labeled

00:46:28:15 - 00:46:29:06
put away.

00:46:29:06 - 00:46:30:07
And so your

00:46:30:07 - 00:46:31:03
seed costs

00:46:31:03 - 00:46:32:20
in the spring was very low

00:46:32:20 - 00:46:35:19
because you had most of your own seed.

00:46:36:19 - 00:46:38:01
Especially watermelon seeds

00:46:38:01 - 00:46:39:10
and cantaloupe seeds.

00:46:39:10 - 00:46:41:02
I still have

00:46:41:02 - 00:46:42:23
some of the watermelon seeds from her

00:46:42:23 - 00:46:44:01
every year

00:46:44:01 - 00:46:45:11
I save the watermelon seeds

00:46:45:11 - 00:46:46:04
from the ones

00:46:46:04 - 00:46:48:00
that she grew originally.

00:46:48:00 - 00:46:48:20
Every year

00:46:48:20 - 00:46:49:11
I have

00:46:49:11 - 00:46:50:17
dark green watermelons,

00:46:50:17 - 00:46:52:01
striped watermelons,

00:46:52:01 - 00:46:53:20
medium sized watermelons,

00:46:53:20 - 00:46:56:04
and once in a while I buy a seed.

00:46:56:04 - 00:46:58:08
And this year I bought a seed

00:46:58:08 - 00:46:59:09
that was

00:46:59:09 - 00:47:00:11
supposed to be

00:47:00:11 - 00:47:00:20
weigh

00:47:00:20 - 00:47:03:12
24 pounds, which I didn't know.

00:47:03:12 - 00:47:06:04
It ended up being 29 pounds

00:47:06:04 - 00:47:08:04
and I could hardly get it

00:47:08:06 - 00:47:09:07
into the house.

00:47:09:19 - 00:47:12:09
This is the biggest watermelon I've ever grown.

00:47:17:00 - 00:47:19:21
You might have to guide it so it doesn’t fall off.

00:47:28:19 - 00:47:29:17
Amalie!

00:47:29:17 - 00:47:30:18
Where are you?

00:47:30:18 - 00:47:32:03
Bring me the knife!

00:47:32:03 - 00:47:34:23
It’s so muddy down here.

00:47:40:22 - 00:47:41:09
Okay.

00:47:41:09 - 00:47:42:14
It's clean now

00:47:42:14 - 00:47:43:01
clean as

00:47:43:01 - 00:47:44:10
I can make it.

00:47:44:10 - 00:47:46:01
Thank you.

00:47:54:08 - 00:47:54:23
This year,

00:47:54:23 - 00:47:56:16
I had 15 watermelons

00:47:56:16 - 00:47:58:23
that were about

00:47:58:23 - 00:48:01:14
eight inches in diameter.

00:48:01:14 - 00:48:03:18
And I had bought one watermelon plant.

00:48:03:18 - 00:48:05:17
And that watermelon plant

00:48:05:17 - 00:48:08:22
gave me two humongous watermelons.

00:48:08:22 - 00:48:12:01
This one happens to weigh 20 pounds.

00:48:12:01 - 00:48:14:12
I was glad that they weren’t all so big.

00:48:14:12 - 00:48:17:02
I was afraid because I waited so long until

00:48:17:02 - 00:48:18:04
October

00:48:18:04 - 00:48:19:16
that maybe it would be overripe

00:48:19:16 - 00:48:21:02
but it was just right

00:48:21:02 - 00:48:22:19
and we’re going to have it for lunch today

00:48:22:19 - 00:48:23:19
together with

00:48:23:19 - 00:48:25:05
what I call Roll Kuchen.

00:48:25:05 - 00:48:26:11
That’s a Mennonite dish

00:48:26:11 - 00:48:28:17
that we normally do for dessert

00:48:28:17 - 00:48:30:02
at this time of the year.

00:49:12:00 - 00:49:13:01
I have to cut this way

00:49:13:01 - 00:49:14:21
because it has a very thick skin

00:49:14:21 - 00:49:15:17
on the outside.

00:49:15:17 - 00:49:16:09
and that's because

00:49:16:09 - 00:49:17:19
the weather was very dry

00:49:17:19 - 00:49:19:14
at the time when it was growing.

00:49:19:14 - 00:49:20:11
And that's

00:49:20:11 - 00:49:23:21
why the outer rim is also so thick.

00:49:23:21 - 00:49:26:10
It should not have such a thick rim, but

00:49:26:10 - 00:49:27:19
it does.

00:49:28:11 - 00:49:30:18
the dryer the weather,

00:49:30:18 - 00:49:33:07
the thicker the protective skin

00:49:33:07 - 00:49:33:23
of anything

00:49:33:23 - 00:49:34:14
that you have.

00:49:35:07 - 00:49:35:20
It did that

00:49:35:20 - 00:49:37:11
this year to the tomatoes as well.

00:49:37:11 - 00:49:39:08
They had a very thick skin

00:49:39:08 - 00:49:41:22
because it had been so dry.

00:49:56:23 - 00:49:59:10
oops, just about cut myself.

00:50:36:14 - 00:50:37:04
There

00:50:37:23 - 00:50:40:03
Okay.

00:50:40:03 - 00:50:42:20
That's about as good as I can get it.

00:50:42:20 - 00:50:43:06
there.

00:51:25:05 - 00:51:25:22
Now you want to know

00:51:25:22 - 00:51:27:09
what the next step is.

00:51:27:09 - 00:51:30:09
You go to the end and get the fork.

00:52:00:08 - 00:52:01:01
John told me

00:52:01:01 - 00:52:02:05
they were not going to thresh today

00:52:02:05 - 00:52:03:22
and they're splitting

00:52:03:22 - 00:52:05:14
worse today than they were yesterday.

00:52:35:07 - 00:52:36:17
Can you hear it crack?

00:52:38:13 - 00:52:39:03
John said

00:52:39:03 - 00:52:40:20
it wouldn't the thresh today

00:52:40:20 - 00:52:41:19
He guaranteed me

00:52:41:19 - 00:52:42:14
that it wouldn't work.

00:52:43:14 - 00:52:46:13
He's wrong.

00:52:46:13 - 00:52:47:16
I said it doesn't matter.

00:52:47:16 - 00:52:49:06
Then I’ll just put everything in a bag

00:52:49:06 - 00:52:50:20
if it doesn’t thresh tomorrow

00:52:51:20 - 00:52:54:00
and do it some other day.

00:52:54:07 - 00:52:57:07
It seems to be working pretty good.

00:52:58:19 - 00:53:01:19
Better than I dared to hope.

00:53:01:19 - 00:53:04:19
See they’re not all going to pop.

00:53:04:19 - 00:53:06:08
Unless you really step on them.

00:53:06:08 - 00:53:07:11
See!

00:53:08:05 - 00:53:11:05
Makes the difference how you do it.

00:53:12:23 - 00:53:13:19
If you don't step

00:53:13:19 - 00:53:15:10
hard enough or at the right spot

00:53:15:10 - 00:53:16:21
then they won’t crack.

00:53:28:22 - 00:53:30:08
Watch your corner there.

00:53:31:14 - 00:53:34:14
Bring it in from the side.

00:53:35:22 - 00:53:37:18
In the middle.

00:53:37:18 - 00:53:38:18
Okay.

00:53:38:18 - 00:53:40:13
That's good.

00:53:40:13 - 00:53:41:09
Now we need

00:53:41:09 - 00:53:43:00
the broom,

00:53:43:00 - 00:53:44:02
the dustpan,

00:53:44:02 - 00:53:45:20
and the pail.

00:55:57:22 - 00:55:59:06
I bought a lot of mactac.

00:55:59:06 - 00:56:00:02
I didn't get

00:56:00:02 - 00:56:00:14
enough

00:56:00:14 - 00:56:01:14
for those two windows

00:56:01:14 - 00:56:02:05
because it's

00:56:02:05 - 00:56:03:15
morning sun.

00:56:03:15 - 00:56:04:10
And usually the sun

00:56:04:10 - 00:56:05:06
comes around here.

00:56:05:06 - 00:56:06:15
This is where the hot sun comes.

00:56:06:15 - 00:56:07:12
Here in the kitchen.

00:56:07:12 - 00:56:09:05
So after I put all that mactac

00:56:09:05 - 00:56:10:17
that looked like wood

00:56:10:17 - 00:56:11:10
on the cardboard

00:56:11:10 - 00:56:12:06
he was happy.

00:56:19:03 - 00:56:21:11
I’ve got the wrong one in my hand here.

00:56:38:06 - 00:56:40:10
Good enough.

00:56:45:09 - 00:56:47:18
The broom wasn’t in far enough.

00:56:53:13 - 00:56:55:22
You could figure it out as well as I can.

00:56:55:22 - 00:56:58:11
Maybe better

00:56:58:11 - 00:57:00:15
I don't know

00:57:00:15 - 00:57:02:16
There.

00:57:02:16 - 00:57:04:06
You have this in the middle,

00:57:04:06 - 00:57:06:07
and this goes across each ankle.

00:57:06:07 - 00:57:07:20
That's how it's supposed to be.

00:57:11:14 - 00:57:13:20
Well, I've got it right here!

00:57:13:20 - 00:57:16:20
What else do you want?

00:57:16:20 - 00:57:17:13
Let's not

00:57:17:13 - 00:57:18:03
waste time

00:57:18:03 - 00:57:19:12
Let's move on

00:57:19:12 - 00:57:21:05
I just want to do what you said

00:57:21:05 - 00:57:23:07
initially, you wanted to do.

00:57:23:07 - 00:57:24:07
If you want the exercises

00:57:24:07 - 00:57:25:08
then you do the exercises

00:57:25:08 - 00:57:25:20
you don't

00:57:25:20 - 00:57:26:22
do something else.

00:57:38:20 - 00:57:39:20
You do it too many times

00:57:39:20 - 00:57:40:20
when you're not used to it,

00:57:40:20 - 00:57:41:22
you get very stiff.

00:57:43:22 - 00:57:44:18
Okay, now

00:57:44:18 - 00:57:45:10
the other one.

00:58:08:03 - 00:58:11:16
I'm going to pretend this is a wall.

00:58:22:19 - 00:58:24:10
And I don't remember the other one.

00:58:24:10 - 00:58:26:20
I'll have to ask her, next time I see her.

00:58:28:05 - 00:58:30:14
Next time we get together.

00:58:32:12 - 00:58:34:08
The idea is

00:58:34:08 - 00:58:35:02
that it’s supposed to stretch

00:58:35:02 - 00:58:36:12
your

00:58:36:12 - 00:58:37:20
ankles and your knees.

00:58:37:20 - 00:58:40:15
You’re supposed to stretch it as far as you can.

00:58:40:15 - 00:58:41:17
You really need something

00:58:41:17 - 00:58:44:22
that's a little stiffer than this.

00:59:08:13 - 00:59:09:20
One of the things I'm doing in the winter

00:59:09:20 - 00:59:10:19
you wanted to know

00:59:10:19 - 00:59:12:02
what I do in the winter?

00:59:12:15 - 00:59:14:06
I'm trying to downsize.

00:59:14:06 - 00:59:15:02
Sort out

00:59:15:02 - 00:59:16:00
family pictures.

00:59:16:00 - 00:59:16:15
Sort them out

00:59:16:15 - 00:59:17:17
so that

00:59:17:17 - 00:59:18:20
you each get some.

00:59:18:20 - 00:59:19:13
So I have

00:59:19:13 - 00:59:20:17
less to store.

00:59:20:23 - 00:59:21:22
One day when I’m gone

00:59:21:22 - 00:59:24:22
there won’t be many to sort out anymore.

00:59:25:05 - 00:59:27:05
I wonder if this is from Brazil

00:59:27:05 - 00:59:29:03
or from Ecuador.

00:59:30:07 - 00:59:32:04
oh, this is our house.

00:59:33:11 - 00:59:36:00
Well, I see this baby here.

00:59:36:00 - 00:59:38:11
It’s a beautiful red

00:59:38:11 - 00:59:40:03
outfit he's got on.

00:59:40:03 - 00:59:41:15
Oh, here's his mom and dad.

00:59:41:15 - 00:59:42:18
That must have be Ed and Frieda

00:59:42:18 - 00:59:45:03
and Darcy, their oldest son.

00:59:46:07 - 00:59:48:05
Ed and Elfrieda Kuhl

00:59:48:05 - 00:59:51:05
They’ve been gone for so long now.

00:59:51:05 - 00:59:54:05
This must be the outside of their house.

00:59:54:05 - 00:59:55:22
I remember when I visited,

00:59:55:22 - 00:59:56:17
there with my friend

00:59:56:17 - 00:59:58:11
from California

00:59:58:11 - 00:59:59:22
No running water,

00:59:59:22 - 01:00:01:23
no fancy conveniences.

01:00:01:23 - 01:00:03:15
You know your kids would like this

01:00:03:15 - 01:00:04:20
this picture for sure.

01:00:05:10 - 01:00:06:03
You take ‘em home

01:00:06:03 - 01:00:06:20
and see if you can

01:00:06:20 - 01:00:08:20
get them developed.

01:00:10:06 - 01:00:10:20
Oops, there’s

01:00:10:20 - 01:00:12:09
The baby again.

01:00:12:09 - 01:00:13:02
She must have

01:00:13:02 - 01:00:14:17
loved red.

01:00:27:21 - 01:00:30:16
Well, my nieces went into a shop one day,

01:00:30:16 - 01:00:31:18
and they found these shoes

01:00:31:18 - 01:00:33:05
that you can't really find in

01:00:33:05 - 01:00:34:10
any new store anymore

01:00:34:10 - 01:00:35:15
cause they don't make them.

01:00:35:15 - 01:00:37:00
And they found this lady

01:00:37:00 - 01:00:41:09
who had a box of 30 pairs of these shoes.

01:00:41:09 - 01:00:43:11
First I was going to buy 1 or 2 pair

01:00:43:11 - 01:00:46:01
Some of them were the wrong size.

01:00:46:01 - 01:00:47:11
Then she finally said, well,

01:00:47:11 - 01:00:50:03
I'll give you the whole box for $15.

01:00:50:03 - 01:00:51:07
So I bought them all.

01:00:54:05 - 01:00:57:03
This happens to be my favourite pair.

01:00:57:03 - 01:00:58:10
The reason they're two different colours

01:00:58:10 - 01:01:00:07
is because one didn't fit for the left,

01:01:00:07 - 01:01:02:08
one didn't fit to the right,

01:01:02:08 - 01:01:03:22
but because they fit so well,

01:01:03:22 - 01:01:05:09
I put them together

01:01:05:09 - 01:01:08:03
and I wear them all the time.

01:01:08:20 - 01:01:09:19
Every once in a while,

01:01:09:19 - 01:01:11:13
these shoes break down

01:01:11:19 - 01:01:13:06
and you can't buy them anymore,

01:01:13:06 - 01:01:16:17
so I have to glue them with wood glue

01:01:16:17 - 01:01:17:23
and then clamp them

01:01:18:15 - 01:01:20:03
so that it is repaired.

01:01:20:03 - 01:01:21:07
And then it's good

01:01:21:07 - 01:01:22:17
as new again.

01:01:23:13 - 01:01:26:00
I don't care what color they are, as long as they fit.

01:01:26:13 - 01:01:28:09
That's why I don't mind wearing mismatched

01:01:28:09 - 01:01:29:21
shoes.

01:01:29:21 - 01:01:31:07
Most people wouldn't do that,

01:01:31:07 - 01:01:32:10
but I do.

01:01:35:19 - 01:01:37:01
This is one of my

01:01:37:07 - 01:01:38:05
favorite purses

01:01:38:05 - 01:01:39:07
because

01:01:39:07 - 01:01:40:09
it was handmade

01:01:40:09 - 01:01:42:14
by an 80 year old lady

01:01:42:14 - 01:01:43:15
in Germany.

01:01:43:20 - 01:01:45:19
I thought at the time,

01:01:45:19 - 01:01:46:20
I'm not old enough

01:01:46:20 - 01:01:48:20
to wear that kind of purse,

01:01:48:20 - 01:01:50:01
so I put it away

01:01:50:01 - 01:01:51:17
into storage.

01:02:53:01 - 01:02:54:22
Well, why do you want that story?

01:02:55:17 - 01:02:57:06
Well, it doesn't matter.

01:02:58:18 - 01:03:00:19
That's not important.

01:03:00:19 - 01:03:02:03
You wanted to know why

01:03:02:03 - 01:03:03:15
and how I repair them.

01:03:03:15 - 01:03:04:22
You got that

01:03:08:05 - 01:03:11:00
I don’t go into details about doctors,

01:03:11:00 - 01:03:12:12
on these films.

01:03:13:11 - 01:03:16:16
It's not nice to talk about somebody.

01:03:16:16 - 01:03:18:01
It’s an invasion of privacy.

01:03:18:01 - 01:03:20:01
It's not something that you would

01:03:20:01 - 01:03:21:02
film.

01:03:21:02 - 01:03:24:02
You have the information you need.

01:03:29:04 - 01:03:30:14
What happened here?

01:03:30:14 - 01:03:33:08
We measured the water in our cistern.

01:03:33:08 - 01:03:34:11
If we don't have enough

01:03:34:11 - 01:03:36:04
water in the cistern,

01:03:36:04 - 01:03:38:06
then it freezes during the winter.

01:03:38:06 - 01:03:39:20
I have a long stick.

01:03:39:20 - 01:03:41:20
That goes to the bottom of the cistern

01:03:42:02 - 01:03:43:01
It measures me

01:03:43:01 - 01:03:46:01
How many inches of water I have

01:03:46:01 - 01:03:46:21
and how many

01:03:46:21 - 01:03:48:07
inches of water I will need.

01:03:49:09 - 01:03:51:16
And then when I call the water man,

01:03:51:16 - 01:03:52:20
I say, okay,

01:03:52:20 - 01:03:54:07
I need either

01:03:54:07 - 01:03:55:13
a thousand gallons

01:03:55:13 - 01:03:57:10
or I need 2000 gallons,

01:03:57:10 - 01:03:59:10
I need 1500,

01:03:59:10 - 01:04:00:10
depending on where

01:04:00:10 - 01:04:02:13
the water level is in the fall,

01:04:02:13 - 01:04:03:08
so that I'm

01:04:03:08 - 01:04:04:09
still here

01:04:04:09 - 01:04:05:04
when he comes

01:04:05:04 - 01:04:06:23
and puts the water in for us.

01:04:15:03 - 01:04:16:12
One of the main things

01:04:16:12 - 01:04:17:12
outside

01:04:17:12 - 01:04:18:10
is to make sure

01:04:19:00 - 01:04:20:15
the lawn is taken care of.

01:04:20:15 - 01:04:21:20
And that's a lot of work

01:04:21:20 - 01:04:24:04
because I cover everything with wire.

01:04:24:04 - 01:04:26:14
Otherwise the deer eat my lamium

01:04:26:14 - 01:04:28:05
everywhere in the yard.

01:04:28:15 - 01:04:30:22
They just take everything.

01:04:30:22 - 01:04:33:15
We have an overpopulation of deer.

01:04:33:15 - 01:04:34:21
They were afraid that the deer

01:04:34:21 - 01:04:36:04
were going to be extinct,

01:04:36:04 - 01:04:38:16
so they don't allow people to shoot

01:04:38:16 - 01:04:39:17
as many deer.

01:04:39:17 - 01:04:41:03
They're beautiful creatures.

01:04:41:03 - 01:04:42:21
They're very nice to look at.

01:04:42:21 - 01:04:44:12
I love watching them.

01:04:44:12 - 01:04:46:23
As long as they don't get into my garden.

01:04:49:08 - 01:04:49:18
Well, I

01:04:49:18 - 01:04:50:20
had a

01:04:50:20 - 01:04:53:01
trigger finger,

01:04:53:01 - 01:04:54:14
both of which made it

01:04:54:14 - 01:04:56:08
pretty poor handwriting.

01:04:56:08 - 01:04:58:05
I almost didn't send my letter

01:04:58:05 - 01:04:58:23
because I thought

01:04:58:23 - 01:05:00:06
the writing was so poor,

01:05:00:06 - 01:05:03:06
but I did anyway.

01:05:04:05 - 01:05:05:12
It wasn't very painful,

01:05:05:12 - 01:05:07:10
but it was very bothersome

01:05:07:18 - 01:05:09:06
because it really hindered

01:05:09:06 - 01:05:11:00
what I wanted to do with my hands.

01:05:11:12 - 01:05:13:08
It closes and stays that way.

01:05:13:22 - 01:05:15:08
So now when I make perogies

01:05:15:08 - 01:05:17:00
I'm a lot more careful.

01:05:17:00 - 01:05:19:10
I use both hands

01:05:19:10 - 01:05:21:10
so that if I'm pressing down,

01:05:21:10 - 01:05:22:02
there's not as much

01:05:22:02 - 01:05:23:10
pressure on the hand

01:05:23:10 - 01:05:24:00
because I made

01:05:24:00 - 01:05:25:15
a lot of perogies in the winter

01:05:26:03 - 01:05:27:07
I had every family

01:05:27:07 - 01:05:27:20
every niece

01:05:27:20 - 01:05:28:20
nephew

01:05:28:20 - 01:05:29:03
brother,

01:05:29:03 - 01:05:29:15
sister,

01:05:29:15 - 01:05:30:17
They all came to my house

01:05:30:17 - 01:05:32:10
for a perogie dinner

01:05:32:10 - 01:05:33:23
for several months,

01:05:33:23 - 01:05:36:08
starting in December.

01:05:36:08 - 01:05:38:11
I make four dozen or five dozen at a time,

01:05:38:11 - 01:05:39:23
probably 8 or 10 times

01:05:39:23 - 01:05:40:19
I’m not sure.

01:05:40:19 - 01:05:41:22
I never counted,

01:05:42:02 - 01:05:43:09
and then whenever it suited them,

01:05:43:09 - 01:05:44:03
they came

01:05:44:03 - 01:05:45:09
It was very unusual

01:05:45:09 - 01:05:46:03
that they all said,

01:05:46:03 - 01:05:48:08
yes, we'll come for dinner

01:05:48:09 - 01:05:49:12
Very.

01:05:51:03 - 01:05:54:03
I was very thankful.

01:05:55:11 - 01:05:57:13
We had Christmas till March.

01:05:58:09 - 01:06:00:12
Oh, I know what else I wanted to ask you.

01:06:00:12 - 01:06:01:20
What is coming up

01:06:01:20 - 01:06:03:15
March 6th this year?

01:06:03:15 - 01:06:04:15
Seventh.

01:06:04:15 - 01:06:06:15
My 90th birthday.

01:06:06:23 - 01:06:07:17
How old am I

01:06:07:17 - 01:06:08:21
you want to know?

01:06:08:21 - 01:06:11:21
I was born in 34.

01:06:13:14 - 01:06:15:00
I got up this morning,

01:06:15:00 - 01:06:17:10
I had another call from Saskatoon

01:06:17:20 - 01:06:19:06
some from Manitoba.

01:06:19:06 - 01:06:21:14
So the day when fast.

01:06:28:17 - 01:06:29:15
Hi Amalie

01:06:30:18 - 01:06:32:03
It's your Aunt Agatha.

01:06:32:03 - 01:06:35:03
Just checking to see if you're home yet.

01:06:35:10 - 01:06:37:15
Bye for now.

01:06:37:15 - 01:06:38:13
Love you.

01:06:38:13 - 01:06:39:12
Take care.

01:06:39:12 - 01:06:40:12
And please call me back

01:06:40:12 - 01:06:42:00
when you have a chance.

01:06:43:11 - 01:06:44:14
I can make phone calls,

01:06:44:14 - 01:06:46:06
but I can't get phone calls

01:06:46:06 - 01:06:47:03
If we want to talk

01:06:47:03 - 01:06:48:20
we have to, we phone out.

01:06:48:20 - 01:06:51:20
I always tell people they can't phone in.

01:06:52:14 - 01:06:55:01
Yesterday the doctor told me

01:06:55:01 - 01:06:56:15
that I had been very sick.

01:06:57:16 - 01:06:59:19
Well, I actually knew that already.

01:07:00:02 - 01:07:02:07
When people are over 80

01:07:02:07 - 01:07:04:13
and they get double pneumonia,

01:07:04:13 - 01:07:07:03
that's very often the end of the road.

01:07:07:03 - 01:07:08:16
Many people my age,

01:07:09:01 - 01:07:09:19
they die.

01:07:10:16 - 01:07:13:06
I am going to get a lifeline now.

01:07:13:06 - 01:07:14:08
I planned to do it.

01:07:14:08 - 01:07:16:09
when I turned 85.

01:07:17:08 - 01:07:19:23
First I had the private room for two days,

01:07:20:11 - 01:07:21:15
I guess they figured out

01:07:21:15 - 01:07:23:14
if I had the virus or not,

01:07:24:03 - 01:07:25:07
and then I went into a room

01:07:25:07 - 01:07:27:10
since then I've been in a room with four

01:07:27:10 - 01:07:28:20
Well, my neighbour

01:07:28:20 - 01:07:29:14
likes to

01:07:29:14 - 01:07:31:01
crawl out of bed.

01:07:31:01 - 01:07:33:03
That's happened about 4 or 5 times.

01:07:33:03 - 01:07:36:00
So everybody comes running,

01:07:36:00 - 01:07:38:02
tries to keep him in bed,

01:07:38:02 - 01:07:39:23
tries to put him back in bed

01:07:40:17 - 01:07:41:02
yesterday

01:07:41:02 - 01:07:42:22
he fell out of bed.

01:07:42:22 - 01:07:43:22
And there’s another one.

01:07:43:22 - 01:07:44:13
who

01:07:44:13 - 01:07:47:05
almost fell out of bed yesterday

01:07:47:11 - 01:07:48:12
And the third one

01:07:49:12 - 01:07:51:20
likes to run around naked

01:07:51:20 - 01:07:55:09
The one that wanders, he’s 85 I think.

01:07:55:09 - 01:07:59:04
but none of them are suitable for marriage.

01:07:59:04 - 01:08:01:05
It’s an interesting world.

01:08:01:16 - 01:08:04:10
Anyway, better say goodnight, I think the night nurse

01:08:04:10 - 01:08:05:00
is here now

01:08:05:00 - 01:08:05:14
Bye.

01:08:08:19 - 01:08:09:23
John is still going to come

01:08:09:23 - 01:08:12:06
and pick me up to take me to the farm.

01:08:12:06 - 01:08:13:10
He's my helper.

01:08:15:14 - 01:08:16:00
So

01:08:16:00 - 01:08:18:00
I’m gonna flout the law.

01:08:19:22 - 01:08:21:03
I'm not even sure

01:08:21:03 - 01:08:23:11
if I'm allowed in the same vehicle,

01:08:23:11 - 01:08:25:11
but I'm not asking any questions.

01:08:30:08 - 01:08:32:04
Hi, its Agatha

01:08:32:04 - 01:08:34:01
I guess I lost you

01:08:34:01 - 01:08:35:18
I'll try the other number.

01:08:35:18 - 01:08:37:12
I hope we get in touch later.

01:08:37:17 - 01:08:39:04
Bye.

01:09:00:02 - 01:09:01:23
What do you see?

01:09:01:23 - 01:09:03:20
The truck

01:09:03:20 - 01:09:06:16
and the yellow leaves,

01:09:06:16 - 01:09:08:06
And the trees that are getting barer

01:09:08:06 - 01:09:09:17
and barer

01:09:13:06 - 01:09:14:00
And all the leaves

01:09:14:00 - 01:09:17:00
on the ground.

01:09:18:17 - 01:09:21:21
And the trees that have fallen down

01:09:21:21 - 01:09:23:06
in the storm.

01:09:23:06 - 01:09:25:10
And the one that's almost coming down.

01:09:27:20 - 01:09:28:12
Right about where

01:09:28:12 - 01:09:30:06
the clothesline is.

01:09:36:22 - 01:09:38:22
This year I had a bit of a surprise.

01:09:38:22 - 01:09:39:10
On September

01:09:39:10 - 01:09:40:18
the 1st

01:09:40:18 - 01:09:41:08
I was standing

01:09:41:08 - 01:09:42:05
in the middle of the

01:09:42:05 - 01:09:43:18
kitchen floor.

01:09:43:18 - 01:09:44:11
I looked down

01:09:44:11 - 01:09:45:19
and everything was red

01:09:45:19 - 01:09:47:09
below me and I thought

01:09:47:09 - 01:09:48:23
I didn't do anything with beets

01:09:48:23 - 01:09:51:11
how come the floor is all red.

01:09:51:11 - 01:09:53:02
Then when I looked down again,

01:09:53:02 - 01:09:53:22
I noticed that

01:09:53:22 - 01:09:54:18
my red,

01:09:54:18 - 01:09:58:00
my right foot was also totally red,

01:09:58:00 - 01:09:59:21
including the ankle and my stockings,

01:10:01:01 - 01:10:02:18
so I knew something was wrong.

01:10:02:18 - 01:10:04:08
So I ran for 911

01:10:04:08 - 01:10:05:04
because I was pretty sure

01:10:05:04 - 01:10:07:19
it was another artery bleed.

01:10:07:19 - 01:10:10:06
They answered immediately,

01:10:10:06 - 01:10:12:16
told me help was on the way

01:10:12:16 - 01:10:13:12
and were very good

01:10:13:12 - 01:10:16:00
about telling me what to do.

01:10:16:00 - 01:10:17:12
And so I sat by the phone.

01:10:17:12 - 01:10:18:23
I was very happy that I was able

01:10:18:23 - 01:10:21:04
to get from the bedroom to the kitchen

01:10:21:04 - 01:10:23:06
from the kitchen to the living room rather

01:10:24:00 - 01:10:25:23
and grab the phone it actually dropped.

01:10:25:23 - 01:10:28:13
but it was still working.

01:10:30:08 - 01:10:31:11
then I figured, well, they’ll

01:10:31:11 - 01:10:33:19
probably be at least a half an hour away

01:10:33:19 - 01:10:35:11
because they're either from Winnipeg

01:10:35:11 - 01:10:37:04
or Portage or somewhere.

01:10:37:15 - 01:10:39:21
So after that, I called my next door neighbour

01:10:39:21 - 01:10:41:13
who lives very close by,

01:10:41:13 - 01:10:43:16
and I said, you know,

01:10:43:16 - 01:10:45:16
I wouldn't mind if one of you is still up

01:10:45:16 - 01:10:47:11
if you would come and stay with me

01:10:47:11 - 01:10:48:18
because it was getting near

01:10:48:18 - 01:10:50:09
midnight and I thought,

01:10:50:15 - 01:10:52:09
what if I black out?

01:10:52:09 - 01:10:53:20
There's nobody here to know

01:10:53:20 - 01:10:55:20
what happened.

01:10:55:20 - 01:10:58:12
So he came and very graciously, cleaned up

01:10:58:12 - 01:11:00:15
all the blood in the kitchen

01:11:00:15 - 01:11:02:08
and in the living room.

01:11:02:08 - 01:11:04:15
There were puddles all over here.

01:11:04:15 - 01:11:05:06
And he said

01:11:05:06 - 01:11:06:15
he hadn't seen so much blood

01:11:06:15 - 01:11:09:02
since the last time he killed a pig.

01:11:09:02 - 01:11:10:01
After he had finished

01:11:10:01 - 01:11:11:21
cleaning up everything,

01:11:11:21 - 01:11:13:14
the paramedics arrived.

01:11:13:14 - 01:11:15:22
by then it had stopped bleeding.

01:11:15:22 - 01:11:16:21
But they decided

01:11:16:21 - 01:11:18:16
to take me to the hospital anyway,

01:11:18:16 - 01:11:20:15
which probably was the right move

01:11:20:15 - 01:11:21:17
because it's happened before

01:11:21:17 - 01:11:23:12
and I know what happens if they don't.

01:11:23:18 - 01:11:24:15
I got into the van

01:11:24:15 - 01:11:26:18
First they were going to go to Portage La Prairie

01:11:26:18 - 01:11:28:05
I was in the van already.

01:11:28:05 - 01:11:29:23
They were from Oak Bluff.

01:11:30:19 - 01:11:32:18
They said, oh, how about

01:11:32:18 - 01:11:33:19
Grace hospital?

01:11:34:09 - 01:11:34:21
I said, well,

01:11:34:21 - 01:11:35:18
that would suit me

01:11:35:18 - 01:11:36:18
just fine,

01:11:36:18 - 01:11:37:19
because my brother lives

01:11:37:19 - 01:11:39:22
very close to Grace

01:11:39:22 - 01:11:42:02
and would much prefer to go there.

01:11:42:02 - 01:11:43:01
And then

01:11:43:01 - 01:11:44:02
I got a bed,

01:11:44:02 - 01:11:46:08
spent the night there,

01:11:46:08 - 01:11:47:03
and when the

01:11:47:03 - 01:11:49:06
day shift came on, the doctor came

01:11:49:06 - 01:11:50:06
and he sewed it up.

01:11:50:06 - 01:11:51:17
Told me to go

01:11:51:17 - 01:11:55:02
I could not go home for the next 24 hours.

01:11:55:02 - 01:11:57:14
So my brother came picked me up.

01:11:57:14 - 01:11:59:16
I spent 24 hours with him.

01:11:59:16 - 01:12:00:13
He actually wanted

01:12:00:13 - 01:12:02:11
to take me to the city,

01:12:02:11 - 01:12:03:07
to my apartment

01:12:03:07 - 01:12:04:17
and I refused to go there.

01:12:04:17 - 01:12:06:05
I said, I want to go back to the garden.

01:12:06:05 - 01:12:08:13
That's where all my food is

01:12:08:13 - 01:12:09:13
and everything else.

01:12:09:13 - 01:12:10:05
And there's

01:12:10:05 - 01:12:10:22
no reason why

01:12:10:22 - 01:12:12:06
I should go to the city.

01:12:12:06 - 01:12:13:17
I have no groceries there.

01:12:13:17 - 01:12:16:02
I haven't been there for a while

01:12:16:02 - 01:12:16:19
and

01:12:16:19 - 01:12:17:18
I'll be fine.

01:12:17:18 - 01:12:19:00
Just take me to the farm.

01:12:19:00 - 01:12:22:00
So that's what he did.

01:12:23:13 - 01:12:25:12
And of course, he was very anxious

01:12:25:12 - 01:12:26:21
that I was supposed to stay flat

01:12:26:21 - 01:12:27:11
in bed

01:12:27:11 - 01:12:27:23
for the next week

01:12:27:23 - 01:12:28:10
or so.

01:12:28:10 - 01:12:29:16
which of course

01:12:29:16 - 01:12:32:01
wasn't what I had in mind.

01:12:32:01 - 01:12:33:22
So the next morning I got up,

01:12:33:22 - 01:12:34:16
I had my

01:12:34:16 - 01:12:36:02
leg bandaged, but I thought

01:12:37:01 - 01:12:38:08
I basically use my left leg

01:12:38:08 - 01:12:39:16
for most of my stuff.

01:12:39:16 - 01:12:40:20
So I went to the garden

01:12:40:20 - 01:12:41:21
and I picked the peas

01:12:41:21 - 01:12:44:08
and the beans and the cucumbers

01:12:44:08 - 01:12:44:23
came in the house.

01:12:44:23 - 01:12:45:20
put my leg up,

01:12:45:20 - 01:12:48:01
took care of the vegetables,

01:12:48:01 - 01:12:49:06
and continued to do that

01:12:49:06 - 01:12:50:22
for the rest of the week.

01:12:50:22 - 01:12:52:11
He usually came every day,

01:12:52:11 - 01:12:55:11
but not in the morning, which I knew.

01:12:56:01 - 01:12:58:01
So when he came in the afternoon,

01:12:58:01 - 01:13:00:18
I was usually flat in bed having my rest.

01:13:00:18 - 01:13:02:09
So he was happy

01:13:02:09 - 01:13:04:04
that he had accomplished his goal

01:13:04:04 - 01:13:06:03
and I was happy that I accomplished

01:13:06:03 - 01:13:07:12
my goal.

01:13:07:12 - 01:13:08:15
That leg was sore

01:13:08:15 - 01:13:10:04
for probably

01:13:10:04 - 01:13:12:01
about a month or so.

01:13:14:01 - 01:13:15:03
When I finally went to have

01:13:15:03 - 01:13:17:06
the stitches out,

01:13:17:06 - 01:13:18:17
the doctor took the stitches out

01:13:18:17 - 01:13:20:06
and she looked at me and she said

01:13:20:06 - 01:13:23:06
Oh, but I don't have any bandages.

01:13:23:06 - 01:13:24:04
Well, fortunately

01:13:24:04 - 01:13:25:17
a friend of mine had supplied me

01:13:25:17 - 01:13:27:03
with extra bandages,

01:13:27:03 - 01:13:28:11
which I had taken

01:13:28:11 - 01:13:30:04
to the office,

01:13:30:04 - 01:13:31:14
so I had a bandage.

01:13:49:03 - 01:13:51:20
I didn't even make a tourniquet.

01:13:51:20 - 01:13:53:18
I just held it with my hand.

01:13:53:18 - 01:13:56:08
I couldn't use my apron

01:13:56:08 - 01:13:57:18
I had to hang on.

01:13:59:08 - 01:14:01:15
How could I tie it if I'm hanging on

01:14:01:15 - 01:14:03:01
with one hand?

01:14:03:01 - 01:14:04:06
I couldn't.

01:14:06:10 - 01:14:09:05
I told her that, but I never used it.

01:14:09:05 - 01:14:09:16
I couldn't

01:14:09:16 - 01:14:11:10
because I had to hang on over there

01:14:11:10 - 01:14:12:20
with one hand.

01:14:14:15 - 01:14:15:12
And the other hand

01:14:15:12 - 01:14:18:04
held the phone.

01:14:43:10 - 01:14:46:10
Well it always fit before.

01:14:53:04 - 01:14:56:04
Got it.

01:15:14:13 - 01:15:15:14
Okay,

01:15:16:01 - 01:15:19:01
It’s too close to the edge

01:15:24:03 - 01:15:27:03
I'm not doing it again.

01:15:45:18 - 01:15:47:05
Mother had a favourite quilt,

01:15:47:05 - 01:15:47:18
which was

01:15:47:18 - 01:15:49:17
black and grey and white

01:15:49:17 - 01:15:51:10
and that was her favourite quilt

01:15:51:10 - 01:15:53:19
because it was very light weight.

01:15:53:19 - 01:15:55:08
And so that's what she

01:15:55:08 - 01:15:57:07
always had on her bed

01:15:57:07 - 01:15:58:13
until she passed away

01:15:58:13 - 01:16:00:00
on the 11th of December,

01:16:00:00 - 01:16:01:22
which was the day that her own mother had

01:16:01:22 - 01:16:03:11
passed away

01:16:03:11 - 01:16:06:07
many, many years prior to that.

01:17:38:22 - 01:17:41:04
There are many things I would do if I could

01:17:41:04 - 01:17:42:14
which I don’t

01:17:42:14 - 01:17:44:01
because I can’t

01:17:44:01 - 01:17:46:09
You just have to accept the fact that

01:17:46:09 - 01:17:47:14
It’s part of aging

01:18:18:17 - 01:18:20:13
Years ago, somebody gave me

01:18:20:13 - 01:18:22:07
some ground cherries.

01:18:22:07 - 01:18:23:21
I really liked them.

01:18:24:14 - 01:18:25:07
it's a small

01:18:25:07 - 01:18:26:06
yellow

01:18:26:06 - 01:18:27:01
fruit,

01:18:27:01 - 01:18:29:04
it grows very close to the ground.

01:18:29:04 - 01:18:31:09
It looks like a cherry.

01:18:31:09 - 01:18:33:04
And each cherry

01:18:33:04 - 01:18:36:08
has its own little jacket.

01:18:36:08 - 01:18:38:18
They have a lot of vitamins.

01:18:38:18 - 01:18:41:18
They’re very healthy for you.

01:20:04:19 - 01:20:06:12
I have boxes of fabric.

01:20:06:12 - 01:20:07:21
Which bothers some people

01:20:07:21 - 01:20:08:20
that I have them in the corner

01:20:08:20 - 01:20:10:06
of the living room.

01:20:10:06 - 01:20:12:02
Doesn’t bother me at all.

01:20:12:02 - 01:20:13:06
One of these days,

01:20:13:06 - 01:20:15:18
I’ll do some more work on them

01:20:15:18 - 01:20:17:20
I made lots of blankets and quilts from those

01:20:18:15 - 01:20:20:11
pieces.

01:20:20:12 - 01:20:22:12
Lots.

01:20:22:12 - 01:20:26:18
I can never keep up with myself.

01:20:33:22 - 01:20:35:21
The creativity

01:20:35:21 - 01:20:37:10
that you display

01:20:37:10 - 01:20:39:23
is very much like your grandmother.

01:20:39:23 - 01:20:43:01
My mother.

01:20:45:12 - 01:20:47:01
She had all kinds of ideas.

01:20:47:01 - 01:20:48:07
She was musical,

01:20:48:07 - 01:20:49:11
She was artistic,

01:20:49:17 - 01:20:50:14
very

01:20:50:14 - 01:20:51:20
innovative.

01:20:51:20 - 01:20:53:21
Figure out things that

01:20:53:21 - 01:20:55:14
nobody else would think of.

01:20:55:14 - 01:20:56:06
A lot of things

01:20:56:06 - 01:20:58:00
she figured out on her own.

01:20:58:00 - 01:20:59:04
And in many ways,

01:20:59:04 - 01:21:00:18
you’re very much like your grandmother.

01:21:01:21 - 01:21:03:13
I see it all the time.

01:21:04:12 - 01:21:05:04
I used to say

01:21:05:04 - 01:21:07:15
she could make something out of nothing

01:21:07:15 - 01:21:08:23
like, you know,

01:21:08:23 - 01:21:10:07
painting the floor,

01:21:10:07 - 01:21:11:12
in a pattern.

01:21:11:12 - 01:21:12:17
And she knew that everybody

01:21:12:17 - 01:21:13:22
would walk on that floor

01:21:13:22 - 01:21:15:08
and that would wear off.

01:21:15:08 - 01:21:17:01
She still did it.

01:21:17:01 - 01:21:19:04
She would look

01:21:19:04 - 01:21:20:13
at something like that,

01:21:20:13 - 01:21:22:04
and she would say,

01:21:22:04 - 01:21:24:02
the space between

01:21:24:02 - 01:21:24:18
that word

01:21:24:18 - 01:21:25:23
and that word

01:21:25:23 - 01:21:27:07
isn't quite right.

01:21:27:07 - 01:21:28:08
It bothers me

01:21:28:08 - 01:21:29:12
if you look over here

01:21:30:10 - 01:21:33:05
his mercy is everlasting.

01:21:33:06 - 01:21:35:08
Everlasting should be closer to the

01:21:35:08 - 01:21:36:21
is.

01:21:52:13 - 01:21:53:11
When I came here,

01:21:53:11 - 01:21:56:11
I didn't think I could walk to the garden.

01:21:56:11 - 01:21:58:09
I proved myself wrong.

01:21:58:09 - 01:22:00:14
And I walked all summer.

01:22:04:11 - 01:22:06:17
It's a good life out in the country.

01:22:08:23 - 01:22:10:03
I told you yesterday,

01:22:10:03 - 01:22:11:07
the thing I want to get rid of

01:22:11:07 - 01:22:12:07
is the burrs

01:22:12:07 - 01:22:14:10
and if the weather turns nice,

01:22:14:10 - 01:22:17:04
I still will.

01:22:22:04 - 01:22:23:13
My sister says to me,

01:22:23:13 - 01:22:23:23
you know

01:22:23:23 - 01:22:26:10
you don't have to be there.

01:22:26:10 - 01:22:26:18
I said,

01:22:26:18 - 01:22:28:04
I know I don't have to be here,

01:22:28:04 - 01:22:30:18
but I want to be here.

01:22:30:18 - 01:22:32:04
I don't know if it keeps me young.

01:22:32:04 - 01:22:34:01
I'm getting old...in a hurry.

01:22:34:01 - 01:22:36:10
too quickly.

01:22:36:10 - 01:22:37:19
That's okay.

01:22:37:19 - 01:22:40:06
I should long be gone.

01:22:40:06 - 01:22:42:15
A lot of my friends have already said

01:22:42:15 - 01:22:45:15
goodbye forever.

01:22:47:04 - 01:22:48:15
When I'm out here, I see all kinds

01:22:48:15 - 01:22:49:17
of opportunity

01:22:49:17 - 01:22:51:05
for doing this or doing that,

01:22:51:05 - 01:22:51:14
or doing

01:22:51:14 - 01:22:52:14
the other thing

01:22:52:14 - 01:22:54:07
to improve things around here.

01:22:54:07 - 01:22:55:23
I know that I can't do them all,

01:22:55:23 - 01:22:57:00
and so I just do what I can

01:22:57:00 - 01:23:00:00
and I don't worry about the rest.

01:23:00:00 - 01:23:02:10
And that's true.

01:23:14:12 - 01:23:17:19
It's a privilege to be alive,

01:23:20:04 - 01:23:23:04
Every day.

01:24:04:22 - 01:24:05:15
The song says.

01:24:06:19 - 01:24:10:14
Do you know how many stars are in the sky?

01:24:12:13 - 01:24:14:00
that not even one

01:24:14:00 - 01:24:15:13
is missing

01:24:15:13 - 01:24:18:07
on this whole universe.

01:24:18:07 - 01:24:20:14
That's basically the essence of the song.

01:24:20:14 - 01:24:21:18
It's a lovely song.

01:24:21:18 - 01:24:23:21
The verses are very beautiful,

01:24:23:21 - 01:24:25:04
but I'm not a singer,

01:24:25:04 - 01:24:26:04
as you can tell.

01:24:30:03 - 01:24:31:08
Does anybody know where

01:24:31:08 - 01:24:32:06
the other clock is?

01:24:32:06 - 01:24:33:10
They're all in the fridge.

01:24:33:10 - 01:24:34:02
Where?

01:24:34:04 - 01:24:35:20
They're all in the fridge.

01:24:50:23 - 01:24:52:10
Once in a while.

01:24:52:10 - 01:24:53:00
As a matter of fact.

01:24:53:00 - 01:24:53:16
quite often

01:24:53:16 - 01:24:54:13
when I come home

01:24:54:13 - 01:24:55:13
from the garden,

01:24:55:13 - 01:24:57:02
I sit down on my swing

01:24:57:02 - 01:24:58:13
and I have a little rest

01:24:58:20 - 01:24:59:22
before I go in

01:24:59:22 - 01:25:01:10
this particular day,

01:25:01:10 - 01:25:02:00
it was

01:25:02:00 - 01:25:02:14
unusually

01:25:02:14 - 01:25:03:13
beautiful,

01:25:03:13 - 01:25:04:14
All the trees are

01:25:04:14 - 01:25:04:23
golden

01:25:05:04 - 01:25:06:18
and yellow and green,

01:25:07:12 - 01:25:07:23
so I thought,

01:25:08:03 - 01:25:08:20
I'm just going

01:25:08:20 - 01:25:10:11
to sit down for half an hour

01:25:10:11 - 01:25:11:01
and enjoy

01:25:11:01 - 01:25:12:09
the outdoors

01:25:12:09 - 01:25:13:08
listen to the birds

01:25:13:19 - 01:25:15:11
and watch the beauty

01:25:15:11 - 01:25:16:00
all around me

01:25:16:00 - 01:25:17:00
cause I have a lot of

01:25:17:00 - 01:25:18:03
great big trees

01:25:18:08 - 01:25:20:10
all around my yard.

01:25:24:02 - 01:25:24:21
It was worth

01:25:24:21 - 01:25:25:17
putting the earmuffs on.

01:25:27:19 - 01:25:28:21
It's cooler than you think

01:25:28:21 - 01:25:30:13
when you stand in one spot

01:25:34:04 - 01:25:34:13
Okay,

01:25:34:13 - 01:25:35:15
these are are my tape boxes

01:25:35:15 - 01:25:37:06
that I use every day

01:25:37:23 - 01:25:39:02
masking tape, duct tape

01:25:39:02 - 01:25:40:09
and whatever else.

01:25:41:12 - 01:25:42:10
and these are some of my

01:25:42:10 - 01:25:43:10
other boxes

01:25:43:10 - 01:25:44:02
you find in my cupboard.

01:25:44:14 - 01:25:46:04
cloth gloves

01:25:46:12 - 01:25:47:18
sewing machine needles

01:25:48:09 - 01:25:49:06
socks

01:25:50:00 - 01:25:51:19
and wool socks.

01:25:52:07 - 01:25:55:04
Would you like some pie along?

01:25:55:04 - 01:25:55:22
Sure.

01:25:55:22 - 01:25:56:18
Okay,

01:25:56:18 - 01:25:57:08
I should get going,

01:25:57:08 - 01:25:58:01
