Nature’s touch

Baby's first experience touching a tree

  It’s finally been warm enough to take off the mittens and not only see but actually touch. The first experience touching a tree was pure awe!

The rosiest cheeks at Stowe Farm!

Leon has the rosiest cheeks and bluest eyes (well next to his grandpa Michael, dad Tim, and dog Kai). Aunt Katie knitted his beautiful hood, which he’s wearing as a chef’s hat in this picture.

No better entertainment than a pile of dirt!

no better toy than dirt

The boys could have spent the whole day in this pile of rich brown earth. There was a Stowe Farm work party going on. Of course they would have helped move the goat shelter, if they were a little taller.

Street game at Stowe Farm

Not sure who put it here, but this game was appreciated on a gloomy day, on a road which is very empty these days. I was feeling Meh until I moved to the Cha-cha box and danced among the bees! Thank you, chalk-fairy, whoever you are!

Now boop my nose! We are loving our Big Ash Tree Now boop my nose!

We are loving our Big Ash Tree at Stowe Farm! This gorgeous heritage tree was carefully preserved while the houses were built, and deeply enjoyed by humans and animals alike. Unfortunately, the Emerald Ash Borer was detected for the first time last year in Colrain, and we worry this trees years are now numbered.  We’re learning about the various ways to be stewards of the land in a changing world.
