Hello from California



Dear Mates,

Yesterday, we got to ride on a tractor and we have seen lots of deer. We have been playing in the creek everyday, which is fun. We capture dragonflies and look at their colors and then set them free (except when they die, we float them down the river). We see lovely hummingbirds, and Mountain Jays.

We planted flowers with our mom, and this is the best part--riding on the horses, and riding bikes around the trails. There are three dogs here, and five horses, and we are in charge of six baby chickens. They eat grains and our kitchen compost. We like being farmers, but its a lot of work.

We hope you are doing well and please write us back here on this thing that my mom made.
Love Grace and Maddie

PS: The chicken coop smells bad.

  1. Grace and Maddie-
    In the picture, it looks like you two are having a very good time at your new home. I know the work there is hard, but there is a lot of fun stuff to do too.
    Ask your Papa's Mom (I don't know what you call her) about the chickens we had up on Shimmins Ridge where your Papa was born. Your Uncle Dan was scared of them.
    I'll be checking back to see how you are doing. Lots of love...
    Grandpa Meyer and Linda

  3. Dear Maddie and Grace,
    Hope you are having a fun time riding those horses. And you know sometimes we go down in the creek too...today we captured some tadpoles for the pond. Love, Josephine

  4. Dear Gracie and Maddie,
    Hi, how are you doing? Have you been good? My Mom and Dad say we can come visit you some day. It's very hot here in the desert. And there are lots and lots and lots of Saguaros. There's a prickly pear in our front yard. I have a friend named Valentina who has a dog named Luna. She's a white German Shepherd. We love it here in the desert. I would love for you to come visit. I look forward to reading more of your farming adventures. Love Gloria Macon

  5. Hi Gracie and Maddie
    It sure is nice to hear how your doing and I miss you. I lost another tooth. I was at horse camp and I got to ride a big horse just like you. No racoons but they had bunnies and geese and hamsters and cats and dogs. And we got to watch horse movies. Having a great summer. I miss you. Bye. Alex Williams talk to you later
