Happy Wednesday Everyone!
Last week was the first week that we opened the barn for
tours of our extensive antique tool collection.
We will be doing this every Tuesday to Friday and calling it “Homestead
Days.” So if you haven’t had the
pleasure of viewing all of the neat tools that we have on display, come on out J Kelsey, Mel and I also did another thorough
weeding of the vegetable garden near the house and it looks so good! We are very proud! Mel has made the goal to go into the gardens
every day to keep up with the weeds and keep them looking great. Thanks Mel!
Kelsey and I have been working on boards for day camp as
well. There is a board designated for
each day/theme and we have been having fun painting to decorate them. The object of them is to introduce the theme
for the day, but each child will have their name on the shape of an object for
that day and we will take attendance by having them stick their name tag onto
the day’s board, into the shaped space that corresponds. For example, on “Neutral Indians” day, their
names will be on arrowheads and they will put their arrowhead onto the board,
on the outline of an arrowhead that is already on the board. There is a picture of a few of our boards
below J
Lastly, this past Sunday was the first of our summer teas
here at the museum! We got the parlour
ready last week and all of the fine china is out and ready to serve our
guests. Teas are every Sunday from 1-4
pm and are $10 a person, which includes tea, treats and a tour. We hope to see your lovely faces soon! Have a wonderful week.
Catie!
