Seth and Jonah were busy helping out the fencing project (you can see the boys unloading wire from the car) and cleaning up for the cows arrival on Saturday -the normal day off from schoolwork. They are getting the day off from schoolwork on Monday - I guess we can call it a Physical Ed field trip- as the cows will be moved 10 km along the roads from the village they are currently in.
You can see Garry working on getting the fencing up, Maxim driving the tractor with the loader over to where Garry is working on the fence behind the barn in another photo.
The fence is up, so the cows will stay here once they arrive. Garry is hiring women to milk them by hand for the time being, until everything is set up. Did you know that milking is a woman's job in Ukraine?
Not mine however, I am am Mom, chief cook and bottle washer, homeschool teacher and summer English teacher (and blogger) Saturday night has become family pizza and classic tv night- I make homemade pizza (North American style- some Ukrainian pizza features mayo instead of cheese- and there is a frostbitten pizza in our freezer- crab and corn)and we have started watching episodes of McGyver this month (in the spring we did Lois and Clark- season one-Seth was born in 1993, the year it premiered) Tonight I tried out dessert pizza like Pizza Hut's to complete the meal- lots of apples!
