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

Grasp, grasp and grip
Plip, plip, plip

The glue
Uck some green
Uck some blue
Jumping all around
Up and down,
All around
Mucky muck
Gluie glue
Undo the
Glue, if
You can,
Undo
The ucky, mucky
Splishy splashy

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
