Quick change homeschooling

Quick change homeschooling today - Darrin finally felt well enough to go and pick up hay today, so we made a field trip of it. We read about German culture, food, and geography and a little history of East and West Germany on the way and after picking up hay we went to eat at the German Rest. in Manchester. Delish!

We ordered a family sampler that contained every entree and side dish on the menu. We all liked everyone of them but my favorite was Schweinebraten - German Style Roast Pork with bread and potato dumplins. Oh yeah - Real homemade lemonade.

Lecker= delicious, tasty, yummy, scrumptious ------köstlich =delicious,--------- schmackhaft-=delicious, tasty, -------- der Leckerbissen= delicacy, tidbit

Fiesty calf gave us a run for our money

We went to buy some Red Angus Heifers this morning and turns out one had a calf. We had to search the fellow's property for the calf. It was hidden on a hill under blackberry bushes. He took off like a dart around a pond across the field through an electric fence across the road into another pasture and in a brush area which we later found out was known to be the home of some copperhead snakes. What a workout. Ended up bringing only one cow home and gotta go back for 2 more cows and the calf.

After we got home we fertilized the gardens ate some lunch and napped then Darrin, Dalton and Blake did some fence work.
