Saturday

            Today is definitely the slowest day on Farm Stay 4.  All morning we were offered optional work, which many of us accepted.  Three hours later, we are spread out maple sugaring, chopping wood and working in the green house.  Eventually the word gets around that lunchtime has arrived, and we tiringly walk to back to the Homestead for lunch.  In addition to waiting to be dismissed after eating, some of us are waiting to work with the bees with Doug.  Others of us think of what to do.  When nothing came to mind, nothing happened.  Far later in the day, after working with the bees, and after we had eaten dinner, we settled down into the gathering room to watch our selected movie Tintin.  After a day that was roughly a whole year long, we crash into bed.
