Testing Video's

I am doing a test to see if I can upload video's.

(UPDATE I have taken the video off since it was such terrible quality.
If you copy and paste this link to 'you tube' you can watch it there.

I took this video on my new camera that Kyle bought back from the states for me. I am impressed with the quality of the videoing on it. I have had to reduce the quality to upload and I see it isn't very good. If you double click on the video it will come up big, but the quality gets really bad. I will work on getting this better.
Sorry about it being a bit 'bumpy' I should have used a tripod.

Try this link to You Tube - I think it might be clearer.

Anyway, this is the carrot harvest in action! I took this video from our house - we get a great view from up here.
The big loud noise you can hear a couple of times during the clip is rocks being tipped into a dump truck - they a busy landscaping here.

Alistair has had a pretty productive week harvesting. We are watching with much 'fear' as the snow slowly gets lower down the mountain. He told me yesterday that the harvest usually take 6 weeks! I think we need a miracle for a frost to stay away that long.......... but hey, stranger things have happened.

Kyle was meant to go on a canoeing camping trip this weekend - all the grade 10's were going, but the forecast is for rain over the weekend so they have cancelled it. Unlike NZ, the weather forecasting is pretty spot on here - so one can rely on it.
He is pretty pleased to be staying home. He looks forward to his sundays when he can 'catch his breath' and have a bit of a rest. Plus he was in Oregon last weekend and next weekend they are off on another tour.

Tomorrow night is 'family night' when a group of students will be coming over to our place for supper (tea), worship and whatever you want to do with them till 9pm. So today I will clean house and cook and get ready for that. Thought I might make them some good old ginger crunch (thanks for idea Felicity- not sure that it will be as good as the 'other Mrs Smith's!). Plus american hot dogs and fries.

Work went well this week - I actually quite enjoyed it. Bit of a huge job though. I think I will be there for a month of sundays doing it! But we really are blessed though, here we are sitting out in the middle of no where in a country where there are no jobs to be had, and I get a job right here on our back door step - I can walk to work. The Lord really does bless...............

You all have a great weekend.
