We had such a great time at Barn Days this week! For team building, we played a compass navigation game, and we read The Tree Lady, the true story of Kate Sessions, a pioneer and activist who transformed her city with trees.
For stewardship, we spread sunflower seeds, cleaned eggs, turned compost, and played with the goats, sheep, and pig. The chickens are back to laying, which is exciting!
For Discovery Spotlight, we met Cove and Lake’s dog, Theo, who was such a sweet pup! Lake also shared some incredible 3D-printed toys that he and his family made.
A big moment this week—after waiting six months for our gourds to dry, we finally cut them open! We discussed knife and saw safety to ensure everyone was using tools properly. The kids carefully cut their gourds, sanded them, scooped out seeds to save for next year’s planting, and even took some home. Since it was chilly outside, we enjoyed some hot chocolate afterward.
