More from this week...

Pulley play:

Friends were careful to hold the rope tightly and wait for a message to "Let me down!"  They took it seriously, for the most part, and seemed to feel pride in helping to take care of each other as they took turns going up on the pulley swing.

Garden Snakes & Ladders:

Cucumbers sprouting:

 The kids watered plants and took time to space the cucumber plants out so they have more room to grow.  We fed the broken ones to the chickens.

Making Muffins...

Elijah took the following photos:

Rain Play...

We enjoyed the short downpour!

Collecting eggs and transferring them to the egg carton...

All in a Day's Work

Life Cycle of the Giant Swallowtail...

Tomorrow we'll check for the pupa stage/ chrysalis!

 

 Our Black Soldier fly/ chicken feeding system is under way thanks to family contributions (squirming larvae!!)

The kids took turns using the power drill and they fit a PVC tube through a hole in the tub.  Next step...Put the larvae in, add compost, and watch them climb the tube and drop into the chicken pen.  There will be a lot to tweak in the days to come.

"Let me down slowly!"
