Dispatch from Deborah: At one point today (4:00pm to be exact) I was standing in the playground and I could see children everywhere fully engaged in the workings of a farm; some were in the horse pen cleaning and preparing to ride Daisy, the horse, some were up on the hill in the distance, herding the cows, others were in the garden picking vegetables for our dinner. Chickens were tottering around my feet, the sheep were baaing, the sun was shining, all was well.

So many moments on the farm. We look forward to sharing them with you! We miss you and will see you very soon!

In the meantime, see below for some poetry/reflections. More to come at our farm breakfast…

Grasping Grips

Grip and

Grasp, grasp and grip

Plip, plip, plip

Uck some green

Uck some blue

Jumping all around

Up and down,

Mucky muck

Gluie glue

Undo the

Glue, if

You can,

Undo

The ucky, mucky

Splishy splashy

Messy

MUD

Better than Day 1

Today I picked lots of leeks

I saw the trees atop the peaks

And made soup with potatoes

Tomatoes and all of the above

And got hit in the face

Playing tetherball with gloves

I had fun being done

After milking the cow

Oink, neigh and moos

Made like we were in a zoo

I was right because after day one

I knew it would be a lot more FUN
