What fun to hear all the feedback from folks who watched the pig chore video. If you didn’t catch it last week, here’s the link. Racey and I had such fun making the video. According to google/YouTube more than 200 people have visiting us and the pigs for chores! That is pretty exciting.
I would love to hear any suggestions for future videos. What would you like to see? What would you like to learn about?
This week was winter break, and certainly the first few days felt like a break from winter. Lewis, Lovett, Racey and I took a fun trip to New York City to visit family and explore the adventures of a big city and enjoy the balmy weather of the southernmost part of our state. We took the train from Albany into Penn Station and gawked at the huge buildings, unending taxis and more restaurants than we could count.
Racey did not board the train home with us on Saturday, and instead flew to Ethiopia where she will be working on a pilot training for her consulting work. For the last 3 years she has been working hard as an important team member, first project coordinator and now training coordinator for the SEADS Project. Phase one was researching and writing the standards book, which “is a set of international principles and minimum standards that support people responding to a humanitarian crisis to design, implement, and evaluate crop-related crisis responses.” This trip marks the shift from theory to practice and where Racey really loves to dig in. We wish her luck and safe travels, she’ll be back in mid March.
Maple Syrup Season is here!
This winter has been full of surprises, not the least of which has been the weather. But variable weather has favored the Maple Syrup makers. Our friend and neighbor Bradley French boiled his first batch of maple syrup this week, and I look forward to taking some pictures, and maybe making a video about how we make maple syrup!
Stay tuned for more on how we make maple syrup.
