We were luck to host a class of third graders from the Waldorf School in Carbondale over the last two days.  and though it was a lot of work working with them it was a uplifting experience just at the time when spring can beginning to feel like we will never get all the work done.  They helped us plant a row of cherry tomatoes, perennial herbs and mulch some shrub rows we planted earlier in the year. 

Most importantly they help us see our farm with fresh eyes, as a beautiful fun place to be and work.  We truly are lucky to have this amazing place to work and live.  And to be reminded of all of that by the smiles and laughter of children (and a couple smores) makes it all worth it.  Even if it does not feel like we could ever get it all done, at least we will stop and hear the giggles off the pond and remember to look around and enjoy.
