Our Yard

The 4-wheeler and lawn mower got stuck.  Dad and I might have to pull them out this weekend.

We have a lot of chickens, and a dog.  My job is to feed and water Poppy every day.  Our roosters are black and white.

We are going to dig up potatoes today.  Our cider press is getting sand blasted tomorrow morning.  There have been lots of mosquitoes these last few days.  And it's been very hot.

We have a lot of plants this year from our garden.  We had a lot of rain this year.  My mom might try jump-starting the lawn mower to get it unstuck. 

My favorite things that we picked out of the garden this year were watermelon and beans.

Aaron's First Post

Hi!  My name is Aaron.  I'm 8 years old.  My favorite thing to do is to work outside with Dad.  When I grow up, I want to be a farmer.

When I am a farmer, I will help Mom and Dad with their farm, Spring Lake Homestead.  I hope that someday we get a goat for playing with and for milk.  I want to drive the tractors and 4-wheeler when I get bigger. My favorite job will probably be driving the 4-wheeler. 

I have a garden.  My garden has corn, and green beans.  I planted cabbage, but I don't know if it's growing.  I have zucchini and turnips and carrots and lettuce in my garden.  There is a watermelon, but it's tiny and I don't know if it will get big enough before it gets too cold.  I also have a marigold planted in my garden that I started indoors in spring.

So far I have picked a big zucchini from my garden, almost 2 feet long.
