365: Day 154- Drumlin Farm

Since I worked on Sunday I decided to take today off to hang with the fam. It was a gorgeous day so we planned to visit Drumlin Farm. Unfortunately S&Z woke up early this morning - 5:19am to be exact. They were pretty tired by 9:30 so we parked them in front of "Dinosaur Train" to relax while we got ready and packed a picnic lunch.


When we got to Lincoln it was shaping up to be a gorgeous June day. It's so nice this year to not have to use strollers for outings like this. 


First we stopped at the Crossroads Barn, which was under construction the last time we visited. Because it's springtime on the farm there were lots of baby animals to see; the lambs in particular were soooo cute!


We have never seen the fields where the farm grows vegetables for the CSA, so we made a detour to check that out.


Then it was time to see more animals! I used the front view camera to get a picture of S&Z saying hi to the fisher cat.


Zoe also stopped to say hi to a hen before we went into the chicken coop.


They were giving hay rides today so we took a load off for a quick tour of the grounds.


Everyone was getting tired by this point, but it wouldn't be a trip to the farm without seeing the pigs and cows.


We had a picnic lunch and then headed back to Boston. 


We can't wait to visit again soon!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

Summer Nights

As we hit the end of July we are relishing the relaxed summer nights around here. Walks to the corner store after work- Kitten snoozes in the window- Playing outside after dinner- And after dinner bike rides in the park aplenty. The best part is when they ride down the "big hill" out of the woods and we make the loop home. These are the days.
