Cutting Wood

22 March 2009

Both boys helped me cut up and load a small wheelbarrow full of wood today. Yippee!

Used the pruning saw, which worked quite well on this small, green elm and apple.

Across the Street

21 March 2009

The whole family went over to the good neighbor’s farm across the street this evening. We fed the chickens, collected eggs, and fed the horses apples and DW and both boys took turns riding one of the them.

It was nice, but the best thing about it was seeing D running around there, confident of himself, completely comfortable with the animals, showing me how to do things, making sure the gates were latched behind us. I got a very different sense of him than I normally get at home.
