A day on the farm...

A couple of weeks ago, Joe took a job that required him to look after the cows and cats of a small farm not far from us. He went every morning and evening to feed them, and we joined him on Saturday morning. We felt very proud of Daddy and his farming skills. Dan loved the cows and was so excited to feed them. In fact, ever since Daddy had the job of feeding the cows Dan says "feed da cows" when Joe leaves for work. Ha!

AGA discovery! Well, our day just had to start out right with Saturday morning pancakes. The couple Joe was working for let us use their kitchen and their very unique AGA stove. I have never seen one before, but it is a stove/oven that stays on all the time by using a different type of fuel (wish I knew more). One of the benefits is that the kitchen stays very warm throughout cold winters here...big plus! It was an adventure cooking on it, and this picture is pretty bad but I think you can get the idea.





"Hello cow!"

After stuffing ourselves with pancakes and feedding the cows, we headed to the backyard to pick some apples! (We were given permission for this also). It was great! I've always wanted to do this but never had the opportunity. We are still enjoying our harvest to this day.
