Welcome, September!
It was a rainy week on the farm, but what fun we still had splashing in buckets, picking flowers, making pesto, and towel sliding through the sprinkles.
No rain, no flowers
Between spurts of rain, we took our baskets to our flower rows, and filled them with brightly colored blossoms. The floral harvests were put into individual trays and later placed between blotting paper and cardboard pieces to dry and flatten for the next step in our craft process.

Presto, Pesto!
From farm to table, the keiki had their hands in each step of the pesto process- from plucking the basil leaves from the bunches growing in the field, to taking turns adding the ingredients to the food processor. A palm full of pumpkin seeds, capful of salt, pinch of garlic powder, and squeeze of a lemon just pulled from the tree... presto, fresh pesto! When young children are involved in the harvesting process and amongst their peers, they are often more apt to try new foods!

Stay Wild My Child!
This week, we read "Stay Wild, My Child" by Mandy Archer. This story sweetly shares that while there are some spaces and times that there are rules to mind, there is always a place to splash, play, paint, run, yell, and stay wild, my keiki.
