Wind!!

Today, there is a lot of wind! The wind is a bit spooky and a little haunting. We were walking up the hill and wind was whipping around us. Then, the wind would suddenly stop. The animals react differently. The chickens fluff up their feathers whereas the sheep don’t seem to care. Today is a very interesting farm day.

First Rotation Wrap Up….

Today is the last day of the Art Group, so Janene told us to go and take some great pictures. The day is windy and when we went out, for some odd reason, we got very crazy, had fun, and didn’t complete the task that Janene had sent us to do, so we had to go back out and take more pictures. Also, today we are, like usual, making several blog posts before lunch.

Since this was the last farm day for Micro-Economy as well, they completed everything that they had to do, like how much they owed LEF for the fruits and vegetables at the farm stand. They also totaled the amount of money that they made from the farm stand.

Field Studies did their daily chores and then worked in the strawberry fields. There they started to plant the strawberries for the spring so they can sell them in their spring rotation.

Health and Wellness is making their final group lunch, which is Lasagna and Apple Pie.

 

Thanks for a Great First Farm rotation!

Lasagna and Apple Pie!

Today, for lunch we are having lasagna and apple pie. The apples and veggies came from the farm.

Daniel’s Time Lapse

Today, I brought an iPhone with a time lapse app on the phone, so I rigged up an iPhone tripod to make a time lapse video. I filmed the Health and Wellness group making cinnamon rolls and the glaze. I filmed for at least half an hour.

What to Do?

Today the Art Group was scrambling for things to report about. The Field Studies and Micro-Economy Group went on field trips and there is only so much you can say about Health and Wellness. Ali and Cailley went outside to look for something to take pictures of. They noticed some leaves on the ground and decided to make an art project out of them. This was inspired by Andy Goldworthy:

While outside they also saw some other picture opportunities:

Camo Cat

Awesome Seed.

Picking Lemons

Today for lunch we are having lemonade as part of our meal. Cailley and I followed Josselyn and Andrew as they search for lemons.

The Rube Goldberg Machine

On Thursday we went to the Tech Museum, and we watched a Rube Goldberg machine infront of the museum. As we watched the machine, time passed without us noticing. Pool balls bounced, swung and rolled. The machine was colorful and magical.
