We have got our supplies, books, and are ready for the best school year so far! We homeschool so that we can be the biggest influence on Alice, it is fun and we all learn! We are starting 3rd Grade this year and very excited. Trying to establish our Homeschool support group at the farm again, so we can practice public speaking like book reports and hold cool classes like worm composting or pottery! This year I also want to add science projects once a month! Big plans, so we will all try to work it out!
We create a grade book/journal each year and this year's book is done and being filled in! I created grade sheets with all the assignments so that it would be easier to track! Always putting pics of Alice from last year on the cover. This time I put a picture of Alice and her new brother, well brother-in-law, close as she will get to a brother! We are excited to have him in the family!
The fall garden is coming along, we have started seeds and are working on more. We have got lots coming up right now, watermelon personal size, squash (yellow, patty pan, butternut, zucchini) along with Purple Hull peas and Black eyed peas, but don't forget the Okra! Lots being harvested and lots of excitement!!
We are starting to get a steady supply of eggs for those interested call the farm! We are still waiting on the Baby Calf to be born, does anyone what to guess if it is a boy or girl? Maybe I will start a poll on Facebook where you can vote! Who ever gets it right can get a pound of flour (fresh ground)!
The hides are dried and the next step is to start the tanning process to make the leather soft! Will keep you informed and post pictures as soon as we start the next step!
DH is working on improving water lines and building chicken tractors and PLOWING gardens space for me! He stays pretty busy with Honey dos. Maybe this weekend I will grill him a rib eye from the new calf we butchered! Have a good week everyone!
