A few weeks ago we met a wonderful family at church and have been getting to know them, and their farm (!) ever since. Being far from our family this Labor Day weekend we were able to help out here with their daughter and (much to the boys delight) their 300 chickens while they went away to a retreat with a couple lucky grandkids. Technically someone else was asked to come in and care for the poultry since I am in lots of new and unfamiliar territory with my responsibilities, but Zach takes his newfound love of all things poultry quite seriously so the poor substitute farmer is quite out of luck if he was hoping to help!
We are almost two nights into our three night stay, and things have gone so well that, although I am struggling to keep my eyes open, it will be with a sweet sigh of relief when I do finally drift off. The kids have been sooo good- Rilla brought a beautiful quilt she doesn't use and loves to make sure the pink side is up when positioned on the bed or wheelchair, an we all take turns getting smiles.
John is reading a school book and soon i will be joining all the other in slumberland.
The last picture here is one of the bunnies Zach has been watching today.
