It was sunny outside recently so I took the opportunity to take some pictures.

Turnips. After Emily and I picked a whole wheel-barrow full of these we had to trim them up before they were ready to go into the kitchen. We cut off the roots to avoid bringing in a ton of dirt and cut off the leaves to use for cooking. Once we got everything trimmed up I realized how beautiful the colors were. The combination of green and purple is one of my favorites already but when found in nature I find it incredible.

There are so many lambs being born! There was even one born ON my birthday. The sheep have come to be my favorite animals here on the farm. They are used as natural lawnmowers quite a bit so I have really enjoyed learning how to move them (and the fence). It's such an awesome sight when you let them out into their new feeding area and there is just so much yummy grass waiting for them.

This was taken right after my short nap with Little Bear in the warm sunshine. I was helping Nashua build a structure outside one of the greenhouses to provide a shaded area for small trees until they get strong enough to be safely planted around the farm. We also hung a swing which has been nice to have.

Nashua.

The bamboo was a great idea for the top. Nice addition of color! Was glad to have been able to help him on the project. I'm learning so much here and its really been great.

I've really been enjoying all the time I'm able to spend outside. It's so life-giving.
