This is my First and Second Grade Class!

We went on a hike at McGaffey, but it started to rain right before we cooked hot dogs for dinner, so we brought them home and cooked them!

These are pictures from the hike while we were there.

I've been getting my hair highlighted to hide the gray.  It also keeps aliens from reading my mind.

We did a box of chile.  We bottled a dozen half-pints, and froze the rest.

We decided to give a try at making our own apple vinegar from the wormy apples that feel from our trees.  The dad cut the bad parts out, and we used the rest!

It actually worked.  Four weeks later, we have some delicious apple vinegar!

We picked some golden plums from the trees at the church and some crabapples from my friend, Betsy Vigil's house and made jelly.

All the pictures on this post went in backwards even though I used Chelsea's hack for getting them to go in the right way.  Here are pictures of picking plums.

Here are Mr. Poyer and me.  He is my resident intern this year.

A couple of dogs got in the yard and killed our young hens.  We were sad.  We got some new baby chicks to take their place.  We got two Buff Orpingtons, two Blue Plymouth Rocks, and one Rhode Island Red.  The will all be brown egg layers.
