Farm Life

We've been here at Porcupine Hill for two full days now, and it is a ton of fun. We're supposed to work a certain number of hours for every week we stay here, but yesterday we totally lazed about instead and went into the nearest little town to wander around. It was our host Heather's fault - she insisted that we relax and explore the town while she was at work, so we did. We did do a bit of pruning last night, and we really got at 'er today and finished the two whole rows of pruning that needed doing. It was fun to be in the garden, listening to the peepers and birds all day while we worked. I would also go visit with the horses every once in a while as a break from pruning. I think they are starting to like me...at least I hope they are!

Heather is a very kind person and we get along well. We were supposed to stay here for one week, but we might stay longer. We'll see! We've been talking a lot and last night I found out that Heather is deathly afraid of snakes and spiders. I felt so bad - we'd been walking in the woods together our first night here, and I came across a little snake snoozing on the path and deliberately pointed him out to her. Woops!!

Anyway that's all I've got for now. We're living the simple farm life for the moment and loving it. I apologize for the lack of pictures - I think I will be able to add some on Monday when/if we go into town again. (I'm not on my own computer at the moment.)
