Great days

Hey ya'll! The past few days have been GREAT but busy. I am going to write a few scattered thoughts here and bring them all together over the next few days. I have a lot of things to talk about which I'm pretty excited about. Here they go:

1) We had a huge potluck dinner where everyone made a ton of great food. Later, we had a crepe night. I am going to post pics of the potluck, and ramble excitedly about the crepes. Unfortunately, I did not photograph the crepe event.

2) We have a new calf that was born just sometime monday night. It is a shaggy red little bull that has long back legs, way too long for the cow itself. It's a gorgeous calf.

3) A group of several volunteers went to Boston and explored a bit of the beer culture. Pics of this!

4) We've continued training. I gave my first tour yesterday as part of training with a fellow volunteer. I think it went pretty well, but I am a bit worried that I talked too much. A huge part of the tour is listening; I need to work on listening and asking better open ended questions. I'll get it!

5) And, the most exciting of all, we've moved the goats in to an amazing place on the farm where they are basically eating out all of the brush. It sounds boring, but these goats eat so much brush that they are completely exhausted at night. And the brush gets eaten like crazy mad. They are going to be there for several days, and I am going to post before and after pics once they are done in the area. But here are some other pics in the meantime.



This is an adorable fellow volunteer shredding the carrots for what turned out to be fantastic vegan carrot muffins, baked especially for the communal dinner by a veg volunteer with good tastes. I had them for breakfast the next day and they were still good then.



I made a potato bake for the communal dinner and this was the before picture. Notice the purple potatoes from the ranch!


Sam and Nic teamed up to make fantastic quiches.



This is the girl that made the vegan muffins. Look at all those muffins! She filled that tray plus an industrial sized tray.



This is a cute frog on the farm that I took a picture of. The frog was about the size of a quarter. This picture is for my grandma!


Alright, the next post is going to be all pics from Boston. BUT! This is a cupcake with an armadillo on it that I found in Boston for my mom.
