More Harvest Faire
Near the end of the day of the Harvest Faire, Ian was working in the candle dipping room and Lucas was making a candle. Asher and I got to wander a bit through the school farm.
We visited the sheep, llama, chickens, cow, and pony. We watched the American River tumble by where the sheep were grazing.
It was pretty rainy at this point, but the farm didn’t mind so neither did we. We looked at the beautiful crops and flowers growing, and the artwork that graces the fields.
We also wandered back through the school, where the Faire was winding up. Here is the fruit of the paper marbling booth, hanging out to dry. Lucas and Daddy got to do this as their last activity of the day. Aren’t they beautiful? We have to pick Lucas’s paper up at the school office since it was too wet to take home that day.
Here is a pot that the potter threw during a demonstration earlier in the day. There was a huge crowd of children and parents watching him work.
Some more scenes from our day: the xylophone and candle used during the puppet show; morning glories growing on the farm; and one shot from the horse vaulting demonstration.
This is the mermaid candle decoration I mentioned in my last post. This little girl was very patient to make such a tiny, intricate design.
This boy is making walnut-shell sailboats.
Lucas’s teacher, Ms. D, made this Welcome chalk drawing.
I wish I had photos of Lucas and X shooting bows, but alas I was elsewhere while they were doing that. All in all, it was a perfect day, lacking only blue skies. When we got home we were all exhausted and fulfilled.

Amazing pictures! If I wasn’t teaching that day, we would have gone. Harvest Fair is such a special experience.

Thank you, Jennifer! Maybe you can go next year. And maybe I’ll be able to catch another library Tunisian crochet class. I hope so!
