This month we were blessed with a 4 day weekend off work, which kicked off a 2 week 'summer break' for our hardy homeschoolers. We spent the time at home in G, but took one morning to tour some interesting sites in town. 1) Checking out the local Ch. school; 2-3) Observing old corn stalks used to weave a traditional floor bed; and at the traditional blacksmith to observe the smithing of hoes (4-5) and the smelting of tin serving spoons (6-10); and at the local bakers with their dough rolling, wheat mixing and wood-fired oven (11-14)
And here is more of a straight-on view. The porch is screened in and potentially very useful, though we often prefer the front door. Our vegetable garden is behind the house, but you can see even the front has plenty of trees and vegetation... thanks to our gardener's daily watering from well water. We are thankful to be safely back here after a very nice vacation with family in August.
