May 2024, second half

Jennifer made some lungs for her science project.

The first day of swimming!

Picking up Daniel after a full days work. His job was once a week for the rush during opening season. He also found regular work helping our next door neighbour.
Putting my helpers to good use. The girls helped me bring mulch wherever we needed it.
Spring is here! Everything is green again. And the veggies are planted in the garden.
I decided to cut down a tree that was growing along the edge of the lawn...since I am attempting to grow fruit trees along the edge instead. This tree has been growing a few feet taller every year, so it was time to cut it down while my little chain saw could still handle it. As it was, it could barely handle it. Daniel and the girls helped clean up the mess for me.
With school finished for the year, Daniel and Evelyn are hard at work playing.
Matthew has been building a clock out of lego.
He has been struggling with getting the weights correct for the pendulum.
He also designed a system at the chicken coop that is supposed to open and close based on how light it is outside. Don't worry, it opens and closes very slowly so the chickens won't be at risk of getting injured.
Now that school is done, Matthew is eager to work for the summer. He gets to bike over to the landscaping company.
And Nathan gets to ride his dirt bike. They are both working for the same company this summer.
Evelyn is working for me.
She helped me get the planters ready. They don't look very full yet, just give them a few weeks! But even now it looks nice and colourful!
