The gardens only contain a few greens, the chickens are laying at an all-time low, the milk is still coming in from Mabel and the goats every day. Hannah is now four months old and the days are so very full as we begin seventh, fifth, and second grade along with our little kindergarten girl, Ruthie. I like to try to get as much school as possible done when the garden isn’t needing attention because I know, come February, it all begins again.

And I know these little ones will be happy to put at least some of their books aside in favor of a shovel and a hoe, because, like me, they prefer digging in the dirt to inside work any day of the week.
