fall work

This year, Asha wanted to learn how to mow the lawn.

She's picked it up really quickly, although she stops at the corners occassionally to get the "thumbs up" that she is doing a great job.

We have a lot of lawn here on the farm so the more kids helping, the better.

She's still only mowing the open spaces (no edging work yet), but next year she will be good to go.

And.......she won't need the heavy rock on the seat with her to keep the mower running (she's too light in weight to keep the engine going).

Mom....look what we built!

Carter & his friend have been busy for 3 days creating zip-lines in the trees.

Yes....you read that correctly.....actual zip-lines with harnesses & ladder & platforms & wires.  But helmets?  No.......not helmets.  Why would there be helmets?

The zip-lines are over 12 feet off the ground.  Way too high for a mother to ride........besides, I surpass the weight restrictions on a "built-on-the-farm" zip-line (lol).

Oh well -- everyone's having fun here on the last week of summer vacation.  And who am I to spoil the fun?!!

 

Remember:

"What happens on the farm, stays on the farm."

 

 

keep creating (zip-lines too),
