Now that we are in our fourth week, the days are flowing like smooth river current instead of a raging river. There is a rhythm of work taking shape; - wake up, breakfast, home school, and then outside for everything that needs to be done. Here are some pictures of the 'outside work'.

| Stacking the firewood |

| Chippen the trees |

| gathering kindling |
Alyce and I have found a way to fill in all the little spaces of work that supports this farm - dishes to wash and put away 3X a day, holding fence post (it is a 2 man job), keeping some of the 'clutter' away for a day - until the next day, reading books, playing board games, making breakfast, keeping the fire going... and so much more. These little jobs that allow the big jobs to get done.

| Taking a break |
These Farm kids dress any way they want to, they play with dirt, sticks, stones, whatever they find becomes a treasure. They are making their own toys. Interesting!!

| Climbing Trees |
 |
| Burning the trash on the trash pile |
 |
| Adding new tool to tractor - road grader |
 |
| Learning how to drive the small tractor |
and so .... we move from day to day, sometimes the moon wakes us up it shines so bright through our windows. It is so cold some days and yet we still end up outside all day. The new fence is starting to take shape. We watch the sun rise and set everyday with wonder, watch the ducks walk to the pond in a single line and the new trees the beavers have cut down and the new houses they are building from the down trees. Today we found little beaches with white rocks (I suspect they were quartz) Tomorrow I will start making a starter for bread...
And so another day ends so that another day can start again.
