Work and Play

Saturday was filled with many activities and lots of work. In the morning after our hearty breakfast, Trey left the farmstead early to travel north to the Centralia area to tune three pianos. Dishes being cleaned up, and chili started for the homeschool meeting we were going to later that evening, Mark and Amanda headed out to clean up some old unused electric fence.
It was in their plans to move Dolly and Rio, using the fence they cleaned up to extend her fence. Fresh grass was soon added to her menu. She enjoyed munching as Rio ran as fast as his little legs could carry him to the delight of all. Maggie was enjoying herself as she watched everything from a distance. She is a good dog, helping round up the sheep and protect the animals.

The pigs are growing quickly. The little one has grown so much since she first arrived at Providence Prairie. They thoroughly enjoy the slop they receive every morning, making themselves such a mess!

We are drying off Cinnamon and Buttermilk, as their bellies are growing and they need a rest from milking before having babies. Buttermilk let us know just what she thought of that!

Saturday evening, we traversed north to Piopolis to the Tennyson's home for the annual Fall Homeschool Meeting. We had 51 in attendance! After the chili supper and presentations by several of the children, we played music and sang while the rain poured down outside. A good time was had by all.
