A lot of things happened in May! Here are the rest of our photos that we wanted to share. This first one was taken when Elijah was experimenting with the camera on his new phone. He took it down the hill when he was taking care of the chickens one evening as the moon rose.
Elijah took this one when he went up the road one day to try to find a place where he didn’t have cell service. He’s been paying for satellite connectivity for a few months, but it wasn’t working, so he kept testing different things and communicating with his phone company about it. They finally found a setting that was not turned on, in his phone. He thought I would like to see this waterfall (I did!).
Two friends (Mr. Imagination and a friend of his) eating jalapenos. These jalapenos hardly have any spice–very disappointing! I think I watered them too much.
Simon spent a week cutting and welding to mount a winch on his Land Rover.
The girls spent an evening building a zoo.
This is a space right next to our church in Reefton.
My last hatching of chicks for the season. That batch of eggs wasn’t very fertile; I only ended up with 31 babies from 56 eggs.
There was a large patch of these toadstools at a place where we had a homeschool gathering. Before Little Miss could get a picture, though, most had been knocked over.
Ahh… a fire!
Esther came upon a fascinating YouTube channel about Tudor farm life. After we watched one segment, Little Miss created paint brushes the way it was done then.
As I was working in the garden one day, Miss Joy joined me and spent a long time investigating earthworms!
Another day, she helped Esther peel garlic to put in the freezer, so that she could watch the video about 19th-century breadmaking that Esther had playing.
A woolen blanket next to the fire! What bliss. It didn’t matter to Princess that the shape was bumpy.
Esther went away for a weekend, and the girls decorated their room to welcome her home.
Joe wanted another picture of his screw when he had another checkup.
