What a blessed week we had! We had two wonderful families from the city come to visit us. Later in the week, one family asked if they could help around the farm and insisted that they do meaningful work and accomplish results. What a hard working family they are!
In short order, the boys and my Dylan had the entire greenhouse cleared out and prepared for the new chicks to move out there. Without their help, we would have surely spent the entire weekend completing this project.
The girls teamed up with my mom to clear out two garden boxes which had become overrun with weeds. They then planted new lettuce from the greenhouse which was overdue for the move. They also harvested a ton of lettuce and spinach.
Many hands make light work, and also make for a fun day!
We then enjoyed a nice lunch together!
We are so grateful for the Noel family. (Picture with 7 of their 8 children plus Dylan and Kailyn.) They are such an amazing example of diligence!
Our neighbors were also busy this weekend, processing 1/2 of their meat chickens. My mom went over the lend a hand.
Hard working ladies... and two hard working boys as well. A homeschool day well spent, learning to care for your own food.
Dylan spent time with Mr. Harold, getting as much knowledge as he can about bees, as he learns to care for his own two hives. What a blessing it is to live next door to these sweet and knowledgeable people.
We are looking forward to a harvest of honey, garden products and many more eggs to share with our community and our homeschooling friends in the city.
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work.
Ecclesiastes 4:9
