Taking the chicks to the farm

Cece and I took the Kindergarten chicks to Drumlin Farm. They let us wander the farm once we're there, which Cece delighted in.

Never ever jam today...except we did

Rocks everywhere we go in hopes she'll find a puddle or stream or lake or ocean to "plash".

Great day at Wilson Farm- clam shell strawberries, apple cider donuts, English peas, and sweet corn. I love May!

We made freezer jam- Ivy a natural at smashing.

It was a dark and stormy night...

The Forest Awakens

We took an evening stroll while Bryn was at soccer practice. The forest is slowly coming back to life. Calvin was excited to point out the skunk cabbage proliferating along the stream bank.

Panda Calvin

She still runs like an rhino on a pogo stick. It's my favorite.

This photo inspired a lengthy conversation on "duck lips" after which the kids spent minutes practicing duck lips. Not a success.

Eastertide

I'm totally digging the way these "nana" roses are drying. Cece picked them out for Bryn after the Ooti showing.

She won!
