Drumlin Farm

I've been wanting to take the kids to Drumlin Farm, as a few of my friends have gone and had a great time. I decided it might be fun to do it with Grandma & Grandpa Westerlund visiting this weekend, so we headed out this morning with a not-so-great weather forecast in front of us.

The first exhibit we saw were owls and hawks. It was just drizzling at this point in the visit,


As the rain got heavier, we quickly moved into the barn with sheep and goats.




Next we visited the horse barn,



We got to see what it's like to brush a horse's tail.


And sit on real saddles!



The pig barn came next.


Finally the rain started to let up and we got to spend a little more time outside.


We checked out old tractors,



And some puddles,



We spent a lot of time in and around the poultry barn too.







S&Z got to meet the baby chickens too!


By 11:30, everyone was damp and exhausted and ready to head home. The kids enjoyed a pb&j sandwich tailgate style before we hit the road.


Until June 30th, you can buy an annual membership to the Mass Audobon Society for only $29! We will definitely be joining so that we can visit Drumlin and other wildlife sanctuaries throughout the year. If you're interested in joining, click here!

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.
