Sydney is unbelievably busy this month, trying to make up for lost time in getting things ready for his first farmer’s market–in two weeks!
The kids have taken the big changes in our lifestyle in stride, seeming to recognize that they’d better claim the farm as their own, since they’re clearly going to be spending a lot of time there. It also seems to have helped that Sydney bought a small wagon, which makes trudging all over the farm more fun.
Both kids have been helpful with tasks like finding and hauling small rocks and even weeding! This seems like a great time to start a farm. We’ll see how they do at spending every Saturday morning standing on hot concrete at the market . . . well, at least it’s right next to the train tracks that run through the center of town, so our train-loving boy will be thrilled.
