| They play "Master Chef" with wild plants. They don't eat their creations, but we are learning about the wild edibles available to us |
 |
| They build tree forts |
 |
| They find |
 |
| Ancient tractor seat and pitch fork |
 |
| Old leather straps and buckles from horse harnesses and who knows what else |
 |
| Tin pails and other maple syrup processing equipment |
 |
| An old wood cook stove so rusted out that only this door could be salvaged. Findlay was a local stove manufacturer from many years ago |
 |
| The old sugar shack with grain processing equipment hidden in the rubble |
 |
| The swing provides hours of entertainment |
 |
| And there are lots of campfires. Even the chickens enjoy the campfire, or at least they enjoy stealing the food roasted on it |
 |
| Zander started his own business here. "Wood Workz". He makes creations with natural materials found on the property. He started by carving "wallet wood", short sticks about an inch long, tapered on both ends. They bring you luck when you carry them around in your wallet. He also makes purse wood, torches, walking sticks, and swords. |
 |
| His wooden money box. He sets up his table at the end of the driveway. Even on our very quiet, dead end street he has made quite a bit of money already! |
 |
| His newest items are fairy garden creations. He makes fairy swing sets, slides, benches, tables, chairs, wishing wells, mail boxes, and fairy doors. |
 |
| Even babies have fun just exploring nature. There is so much to do here, with chores, new building projects, and exploring, there is very little time for boredom! |
