Miller Farms 2012

Another year, another trip to Miller Farms.  You may recall that Miller Farms is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) place north of town a bit.  Every year they throw “Fall Fest” where you can play on their farm- and Disney-themed playground, then jump on a tractor-drawn wagon to harvest as many of the current produce as you feel like. 

 

And as usual – we ended up with way more than we planned.  Probably 150-200 pounds of potatoes, onions, tomatoes, corn, carrots, sweet peppers, spicy peppers, eggplants, tomatillos, beets, cabbage, dill, broccoli, pumpkins, green beans, wax beans and I’m sure I’m forgetting something…

 

And it was hot.  And we didn’t have enough water, but once everyone re-hydrated, we agreed it had been a decent trip.   No kittens this year….

And other than that – we got Rachel’s kindergarten evaluation, and she’s a “4” – advanced in every skill except writing her name, where she merely got a 3 - “Proficient”.  Daniel’s evaluations were also really strong, and he’s getting pulled out of his normal classroom 4 times a week to participate in a reading program that will keep him challenged, so it’s all good. 

 

And that’s about all in the last week.

 

Love, ADRE>
