April 19

Hello family, This week was a pretty fun week. All the interns met last Sunday, and we are going hiking tomorrow. Hopefully it won't snow. We should be able to get some to come climbing with us too. On the farm we got to prepare the mobile chicken coop for the chickens' move to the pasture and transfer them into it at night. We got a barn ready for some baby goats that might be coming. We herded sheep and cows and built a field fence and paddocks with electric fencing. Also, we helped trim a sheep's hooves. We also did a lot of tree potting, seed planting, and irrigation ditch cleaning. On Wednesday, a bunch of middle school students came out with their teachers and an entomologist, and we set up traps, took soil samples, and caught bugs with a beat and sweep. Lots of fun. Hope everyone is doing well, and hopefully other people will start to write updates as well.
