City Kids - Week 3


         City Kids - Week 3


This week greeted our city guests with a blast of Snow Storm Stella,
once again reminding us all, "if you don't like the weather,wait ten minutes." 

Storm Stella - the very beginning!
The first couple hours












Oh, how the inches grew and the wind whipped  around as our committed, first-time farmers hiked to the farm for  afternoon chores.


Two days later, the sky was blue, the ground was once again covered with over a foot of snow,
and the sleds came out to play.

The storm didn't stop us and it didn't stop the bovine, either.
Jade decided it was a good day to have her heifer calf,
fondly named Jewel by the city kids.

Despite the winter weather, it is almost spring…the seeds still needed planting.
This week we planted cantaloupe, honeydew, and various herbs.

Mission complete

Friday did not go without excitement - Echo calved a handsome bull first thing in the morning!

And then we all said our farewells to our new friends.
