This morning Luke slept a little later than he has been recently, which was great. After he got up we went out to see the moon before breakfast. After breakfast John and I made some repairs to the rototiller and he tilled Becky’s garden while Luke watched gleefully. We all had a picnic snack together. After lunch we built a fence along one of the back fields. Dinner was delicious, as all meals have been. We did get a surprise rain shower this evening.
We are still having a great time. I got up fairly early this morning to take some pictures. It was nice and cool out after last night’s storms. Soon after we brought Luke out to look at the moon, which he loved, as usual. Liz didn’t work today except for a brief afternoon meeting, so we had a lot of time to do stuff. We all rode in the truck to the back of the property, then walked to he big pond. Luke was thrilled to see two turtles. It was a scouting trip to determine where a platform will be built.
Before lunch John and I went to get some fresh strawberries from an Amish lady on the other side of town. They were a big hit with Luke. During his nap I did some work on the next house design and materials lists. After he woke up we played with a train, then went outside to pick up sticks and ride the dump truck. It had stormed between lunch and play time. He ate a ton of strawberries at dinner and did not want to go to bed.
We got an early start this morning when we went outside to see the moon. After breakfast Luke and Becky made banana bread, we played a lot, worked a little bit, and he ate snack without his tray. I mulched the flower beds while Luke napped. This afternoon he picked up more sticks and rode around on the tricycle. Storms rolled in this evening. Liz and I went to Meijer tonight after Luke went to bed. It is probably my favorite grocery store. I will try to return soon without Liz in order to get more goodies.
It was a pretty busy day with lots of projects getting done. We moved wood, mulched, and Luke got his first ride in the little Cushman farm cart. It was pretty warm today and will be hotter tomorrow. We had pizza for dinner and it was delicious.
This morning we went for a drive in the truck towards the back of the property, then walked around one of the ponds. Luke loved both riding in the back of the truck and the hike. We had lunch and then naps. Afterwards we went for another drive around the farm in the pickup. The weather was lovely and the air fresh. A great respite from all the craziness in the world right now.
