Welcome ...
This blog has been created to allow family and friends to share in and become part of the experience of 'Down at the Farm'.
Enjoy the children, their love for each other and their open hearted wonder and excitement.
Over time you will get to know the farm through their eyes and will see how they spend their day with each other in a very rich, organic way.
Each vignette is a snapshot in time. Follow from one to another, then on to more and you can share in our unfoldment and journey.
Enjoy your visit ...

Let's light that fire ...

After two glorious days in a row at the farm, it sure felt different to arrive with things cold and grey and looking like rain was on it's way.  Days like that I count on the fire in the barn to keep us warm and today there wasn't a flame in sight.

That wasn't a problem for Dakota, Jyra, Ted, Magnus and I ... we set off to collect some wood and light the fire ourselves ...




Not a bad blaze and enjoyed by many ... a proud little gang we were ...

The dynamic today was pretty gorgeous.  The four children had a really good time together.  Dakota was little miss conversation all day long.  She and Magnus played with incredible love and care between them.  Ted and Jyra too.

To ad some fun to our travel, a little wheelbarrow ride was part of the days fun as well ...






... and Dakota was fascinated by a book in the barn with a princess in it ...  take a look and see if you can figure why ...



While the princess in the book looked way more worried than Dakota, I got the sense that she was 'seeing herself' while looking at this princess with dark hair.
