We had a great week and are enjoying some of our first fruits of spring. Everything seems to be growing well and we are trying to stay on top of the watering and weeding. We haven't had any rain in a couple of weeks, so we have had plenty of dry days for working outside.

Sarah completed her 5th grade curriculum on Tuesday. We are very proud of her, as she worked very hard to finish up all her subjects just a couple weeks past our original stop date that we extended due to our long winter break. Now she will get to take a break from her studies until we start our next school year in March. She has been such a help this week, making bread, tending the chickens, cutting vegetables for lunch, etc, etc. Her siblings still have several weeks until they complete their schoolwork, but there does appear to be an end in sight.

In the following video, you can see how laundry is hung when the correction (corrección) is moving through. It requires a lot of fancy footwork and can be quite amusing to watch though not experienced directly.

The corrección consists of a particular type of ant that travels in armies by the thousands in search for a new home. They cover the ground in an area so that it appears to be moving. The ants are quite determined and don't bother much during their move which typically lasts only about an hour or two, but if someone unknowingly disturbs them, the result is often painful as you can imagine.

Well that is about all that I have for now. Have a blessed Sabbath Day!
