Our crew

Tom the turkey

Making cheese

The final product.

Yesterday was truly a blessing!  We went on our first out doors field trip this year and had a great time!  We had to rise very early to drive to our destination (over 2 hours away) but it was so worth it!  It rejuvenated me and brought a smile to my face.  I think the goslings had a good time too! 

We went to a maple syrup farm.  We got a great tour and even got to smell the sap bubbling away, then taste the wonderful fresh syrup.  We made sure to buy 1/2 gallon to use on our pancakes and waffles at home too.

Next we went to a jersey cow cheese farm.  We were able to taste many kinds of cheese, watch the cheese making process and even pet the calves and ”chat” with their pet turkey 7 year old Tom.  He was a little intimidating blocking the door as we pulled up but quickly found out he was the resident ”farm dog”

I loved the time outdoors in the 70 degree weather and cherished even more the time to learn and spend time with the goslings and great friends!  I feel ready to tackle the rest of Lent!  Have a blessed day.
