This was always a familiar site for me, having lived on the "beet loader road" as we affectionatley called our turn-off from the highway. This was a true sign of fall when we could see the lights that lit up the whole sugar beet dump area. Plum Coulee was known as the sugar beet capital of Manitoba. Since moving to Powell, I know of 4 or 5 dumps within a couple of miles along the highway. I think the title may have moved south. Definitely a staple crop here.
As far a pregnancy update, not much to update. The news has definitely made it around the planet and we're getting a very good response. No real noticable bump yet, even though I've passed the 13 week mark. So I'm almost to the end of the first trimester, hard to believe. I've been busy this weekend though. I cleaned out the garden, cleaned the house pretty thoroughly, washed my windows and made a batch of salsa. I'm impressed with myself. My body was aching yesterday but it has recovered.

I still refer to your road as the beet loader road.
Glad to hear that you are feeling well. How are you pants fitting? Can't wait to see a bump!!!
My pants aren't too bad. Sometimes it feels better to have the button undone.
Don't worry, that "bump" will appear out of nowhere one day. Glad to hear that you are feeling well and have energy to do things - it feels nice after having weeks of exhaustion!
