Solar Panels

WOW! It's been a LONG time since I last posted!

Tons of stuff has been going on and I've been keeping very busy, so I'm going to split this into three different posts.

On Tuesday, the solar panel crew finished their work. They just need to do the wiring now, and we'll have 33 running solar panels! So we're excited about that!

While I was in the back taking pictures of the panels, I noticed that our peaches are on the trees already! Time FLY'S!!!!! Soon, we'll need to start thinning the trees.

Bee's, and Solar Panels!

Well, the past few days have been busy!!!:)

As you can tell by my first picture here! hahaaha

This is me with my favorite food, Cottage Cheese!

Yesterday, our bee's swarmed. They went to the nearby Butterfly bush, and swarmed there. Fortunately, My dad was able to catch them and put them in a new hive!

We've had a crew of workers here at the house for the past few days. They've been putting up solar panels for us. We're getting 33...they have 10 up right now. Two of them ordered pies! :)

But that's what we've been up too! That and Baking baking baking!!!!

I've got to go get ready for market tomorrow!

:)

Clubs

Last night was our last night of Patch, Pee Wee and Cubbies Clubs at my church. At the beginning of the next school year, we'll start up again.

I took some pictures of the group I work with: The Pee Wee's.

First they did a goofy picture.

Than a serious picture!
I had fun helping out this past year in Pee Wee.
Getting to know the kids was great, and I hope I can do it again next year!

Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day everyone! We had a Marshmallow cook-out yesterday night.

After finishing all of our work for the day, and getting the trucks ready for market, we went to the back of the property and had our cook-out.

Here are some pictures from the cook-out.

This is me and Oliver of course

Lydia and I. Mark jumped into the background with his marshmallow's. :)
Me and my Dog, Homer. Right now he's really sick, and we're afraid that he's going to die soon, but he was really excited yesterday night, and kept trying to eat the marshmallows. ;)

Me. I have no clue what I'm holding up....It might be a Hershey Kiss wrapper though....

But that's what we did yesterday. Today it rained all day and I went to work with Martha. So that was fun: mowing in the rain. :)

I guess that's all for now!

Until next time!

Sustainable living fair

Yesterday Daddy and I went to the Heartland of Maryland Sustainable Living Fair, to sell our 'wares'.

I don't believe I have ever seen such a group of weird people in all my life. There were people everywhere wearing shirts that said "being Green is easy", "Go Green", "No Incinerators", and tons of others. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with not littering or recycling, but I mean, these people were over the fence....way over.

One man came right up to me and asked me if I was married. When I told him "No", he went on and on to my dad about how I shouldn't be allowed to marry any guy unless he has blue ribbons tied around his neck. I was so confused, and I didn't understand a WORD he was saying!!!!!

Those are the kind of weird people we met, all day!

It was kinda wearing on you....

BUT,

We got to see some of our customers from The Westminster Farmers Market, so that was nice.

This is a picture of our tent. :)

Our stand was stuck RIGHT in front of the music groups who came in. So, basically we were stuck in this Fair next to these bands which made it so that you had to scream in order for the customers to hear you.

I had a headache by the end of the day!

This band in particular, was REALLY weird.

The guy on the far left, is playing some weird instrument.....it looked like sheet metal. He had a spoon and fork in each hand and was banging them on his "instrument." Daddy and I were laughing so hard, he made me take a picture of it!:)

Anyway, so that was our "Fun" event-filled day! :)

By the way, I DON'T think we're going back next year! :)

hahaha

I guess I'll talk to you later!

Strawberries!

Today I picked our first quart of Strawberries. :)

I had to pick them kind of pink or else the birds would get them.. :)

I hope you all are having a great week!

Enjoy this Memorial Day Weekend!

Boy Scouts

Yesterday I stayed home from market, and Lydia went instead. I did some school and housework stuff.

We got 25 new baby chicks in the mail the other day, so I was taking care of them. Unfortunately, three died.

Then, when everyone got home from market, we all went to Oliver's Boy Scout Court of Honor. Oliver was given lots of merit badges he had completed.

This is the Scout Master giving Oliver the merit badges.

Sorry these pictures are so dark. This is the group of boys who completed a Klondike race (or something).

The whole Troop 55, with their leaders. Oliver is the one on the other kids shoulders. :)

So that's what I've been doing. Yesterday was Election day, and I hope you all voted! ;)

'Til next time!
