A Nice Walk

Preschool Fun

I just started Apple Blossom Preschool 2 weeks ago. It's hard to be around so many new faces, but it's fun too. Here I am feeding the chickens & sliding with my teacher Miss Carrie.

The many Faces of Forrest

Hi!

Forrest Has A lot to Say

Canning Pickles

Forrest being the overachiever he is, not only rolled over on his own this week, but also decided to make pickles. He taught me how. It's very simple, the cukes first need a cold water bath. Then you need to prepare the jars...mom added some interesting things to them (grape leaves, peppercorns, dill, some even had lavender!). Then, we packed the cukes in tight. Then Forrest told us how to make the brine using salt, vinegar, & water. We added it to the jars & dunked them in the boiling water. Forrest made sure to keep a close eye on mom when she put the jars in. She insisted on passing me off the a friend for safety & then wa-la! We took the jars out & they sealed! I couldn't wait, so 2 days later I opened a jar. They are amazing, I like pickles now. Where did Forrest learn to pickle?

School & More Building

So last week was my first week of school & it was okay. I say okay because I liked it but also got upset alot. Not to worry, because I made a few friends, chased chickens, dug holes, talked to bunnies, & ate tacos. And of course, got to put my new monkey back pack to use.

On the building front, we have a roof! Not completely done yet, we need to put up the metal roofing, but it really feels like a house now. My favorite spot is the attic space which is going ot be a loft for sleeping, but i think it will make the perfect hiding spot. I had to do most of the work, yet again, but I realize that Casey & Dada are busy men.
