Fair Entries 2021

 Audra's 2021 Fair Entries

Pig

Hand stitched pillow

The Novelty exhibit is Maine 200 years ago shadow box. She made a sewing kit.

Adrian's entries

He took various trucks apart and put them together in different ways. The entry is truck mechanics. 

This is a farm he painted.

This is his "Maine 200 years ago shadow box".

Bookends

Don't they look like twins? Adrian just happened to be wearing a shirt that said "I make milk, what's your superpower?", while my husband's shirt went right with it, "Got cookies?" 

Complementary Colors

 Kids took a class on complementary colors through 4-H.  I think their art stands out even more with their thoughtful color combinations. 

Happy First Birthday!

 Copper is officially ONE YEAR OLD!  Doesn't seem possible. As wild as he is, we do love him so!

Bookmarks

 Anna-Kate made me new bookmarks. They are ladyslippers. I love them so. She used to remove all my bookmarks, now she is steadily making me bookmarks and inserting them in all my books. I literally never know where I am when I pick up a book. I get a smile, though. That's worth more than knowing my place.

The very best pets

 

4-H Summer Learning 2021

 I cannot even begin to adequately express how awesome 4-H is in Maine over the summer.  We have had a steady stream of 5-7 online classes a week for the month of July.  Pretty much our July has been taken up by 4-H, and we're nothing but thrilled. We've had a cardboard challenge, three workshops on wind power, two workshops on growing microgreens, a workshop on ponds and rivers, a magic show, a class on bees, hornets and wasps, meetings on our aquarium and on fish behavior, two workshops on abstract art,  two chicken workshops, three traveling around the world with workshops with teens from other countries, exploring nature patterns, creating natureart, boat building, workshops on healthy foods...and I may be missing some. That's just July.  Here are a few of the highlights.  They are 3rd generations 4-Hers and I am very proud!
