Workin’ and Playin’ at the Farm

A lot of changes have been made at the Rockwood Farm/Campground.  Doug has been super busy with Scott, Rod, Reed and me helping when possible.  We are tearing down one of the sheds that is old and preparing to build a new one.  Here are the before pictures and the demolition pictures.

We have also been preparing for the Schwieder Reunion.  Doug and Scott designed and build a zipline using tractors as anchors.  I even took a trial run down the line.  I think it will be a hit with the kids.

The PINTEREST Craze

Last Fall I was given an invite to a new online site called Pinterest.  It is a forum for people to share and PIN ideas.  You create a variety of bulletin boards to save ideas that interest you.  I have found many good teaching ideas and some fun things for home, family, reunions, church, and the lists goes on.  I will probably never use everything, but it has been fun to try a few.

Last week I painted some rocks like strawberries for Doug.  The idea is that the birds will try to peck at the rock strawberries and not like it, and so when the real strawberries come on they will leave them alone.  We will see if it works

Another project I did was to make a gift tag for baby gifts.  They were inexpensive and fun to make from baby wash clothes and a baby spoon.
