4-H

Here in Maine
we're learning a lot about 4-H
and farm animals.



Jupiter (above)


4-H-ers take on the feeding, grooming and training of the animals.
They also muck out the stalls and learn about showmanship, breeding, diet and health care.


So much to love here.


So very much.

  4. My comment has nothing to do with 4-H or farm animals, but I just read your book, Heartbeat. What a beautiful story. You captured in a few words the hopes and fears and all that goes into the birth of a baby - when the baby is born gray and not breathing - and the feeling everyone in the room has when the baby makes those first plaintive wails.

    I loved everything about this book - the characters, the friendships, the themes, the 100 apple drawings. Beautifully done.
