Good Afternoon!  We could not have had a better day for the farm.  Yeah for early spring time. I’m running short on time today, so I will give you the condensed version of our day.  For the full farm story through the pictures, go to flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/weefriends/sets/72157629585631847/!  

  We loved (see pic below if you think love is too strong of a word), fed, and watered many animals today including goats, chickens, turkeys & cows. It tooks lots of teamwork to do these jobs.

 

 

 

 

 

Our big work today was helping to clean out the shed that has filled over the winter with assorted farm tools and “stuff”.  The children made trip after trip clearing out all of the stuff which was extremely helpful to the farm! 

 

We took a long walk, exploring the woods, log cabin, and prairie.

 The kids helped Tami load a truck of logs for our playground.  Kai especially was focused on helping and he stuck with Tami until every log was loaded. (The little girl in the picture is a “homeschooler” that is a helper on Wednesdays at the farm.)

  On the way home, a few friends felt the impact of our busy morning…

 

 

 

 

Back at WF, Melinda and Lisa reported a spectacular morning!  Here are a few highlights that they reported to me:

• Nate and Steven were fascinated by the seeds in the red/yellow/orange sweet peppers that were being cut for Wee Sprouts this morning.  The spent a good amount of time examining them then Melinda led them into planting them in soil.
• Lisa led a small group of friends through a bear hunt outside.
• They all took a long walk:  they collected pine cones, they observed the fire truck, ambulance and police responding to a call, and they went to the church to see/hear the church bells that signal our lunch time everyday at noon.

 

 

 

 

 

For breakfast we served whole grain oatmeal and fresh pear slices.  For lunch we served brown rice and chicken, corn, and applesauce. 

Have a great day!
