Spring Planting May 3, 2011

Do you see the happy smiles on these girls' faces? They were in the middle of their homeschooling day when their dad called to say that the field was (finally!) dry enough to plant. They got to drop their books and head to the strawberry field. Of course, we don't call it the end of the school day. We call it a class in agriculture... or environmental studies... or character development. They just call it Fun!


We're hobby farmers and homeschooling parents; we grow three acres of fruit, mostly strawberries, in our spare time. What's that like?


It's an act of faith--and I can't wait to see what this year's summer sunshine will bring us!
