Well, it seems the hot weather is here to stay (up to 30 degrees in this week's forecast), meaning...it's tree-planting time! We had a little taste of that last week, along with a couple of other projects that kept us very busy, like completing the river irrigation system, building a fence and painting the cabin. This week we have 16000 trees to plant. Yesterday we went to Regina to pick up a new team member, Kevin. While we were there we visited a little Somali store and picked up some spices, ugali flour and ndengu. They also had spiced coffee. After a visit to Costco, we came back to Weyburn.
Water and plumbing have been a bit of a challenge this past week, with us running out of water one day and having the basement flood a few days. I hope we are finally able to get that under control soon. Our water has to be trucked in from the municipal supply in Weyburn, and is stored in 3 big storage tanks in the basement. With now 5 interns using it, it stands to reason that a fairly regular replenishment run needs to be established, coz water is important.
