Alistair is excited that spring is in the air and he can now wear running shoes to school. I will not let him tidy up with garden yet since we like to give the pollinators time to wake up. But he was pretty thrilled about raking some of the leaves on the lawn!
Ian and the kids headed west to experience the total eclipse and the cheese factory, of course. Thanks to family friends, Sean and Lynn, for sharing their amazing photos of the experience since I was not there to take them.
Meanwhile, the hens and I experienced the eclipse at home on the farm. My photo is not nearly as impressive but mine comes with music! I thought birds were supposed to be silent during an eclipse but apparently mine did not get the memo. They sang me the loudest eclipse song during the darkest phase and then continued on like nothing was amiss.
Our Sunday family adventure involved a long drive, a short hike, and a sunshine filled afternoon of shore fishing. We caught one brook trout and absorbed loads of vitamin D and fresh forest air. Happy Sunday!
