Happy Wednesday Everyone!
This past week at the museum, we had a special guest come
and walk through the house, sharing interesting information with us. A friend of Kelsey’s, Julie, has the special
gift of feeling the energies and activities of those who are no longer with us. As she walked through our beautiful farm
house, she felt a number of presences, however we do not know if they were
former residents of the home or perhaps have found their way to us attached to
the items that have been donated to us.
We are also having a group go through the house later this month to
track the activity out here. So neat to
hear about those others who call the museum home at the moment.
Our day camp is next week and so Kelsey and I have started doing
more preparatory measures so that we are ready to go. Yesterday we tried making taffy and though it
tasted good, we are going to try again today for a better result, as we cooked
it too long the first time. This week
will also be filled with Kelsey and I making
craft exemplars and trial and error craft sessions.
Last night, Kelsey, Sarah and I also attended a meeting of
the Antique Club in St. Thomas at the Military Museum. The topic of the evening was
measurement. Though the math of it all
confused us at times, we learned quite a lot about how certain measurements
came to be and about a number of tools that are or were used to measure
clothing, feet, lobsters, etc. Very
informative!
The last topic of today is our watermelon progress. It has gotten even bigger! It is about the size of a standard ruler and I
will be laying the ruler next to it from now on to show its progress, because
it is easier to see the transformation in photos with something to gauge it
with J Our watermelon plants are growing so well that the fines have found their way our of the garden, under the fence. Also we have corn in the back! Not only do we have one stalk, which is what
we all wanted, we have many! I hope
everyone has a great week. Take care,
Catie!
