Walkway Over the Hudson and Bread Making, Day 4





Chores, chores, chores....Many things to get done between 6:25am and 8:30am!  After the cows were milked, goats were milked, babies fed, chickens fed, South Side chores finished...we went in for another great, fresh breakfast and get the plan for the day. We put on our walking shoes, took a short drive into Poughkeepsie ("small grass hut by the river" in Native American), and enjoyed time on the "Walkway Over the Hudson River".  It's about 1.5-2 miles across and back...It has been developed as a State Park, part of the Rails-to-Trails national project, and it was a wonderful day to participate!  It was also a nice break to get out, off the farm and see a little of the local excitement!  Returning, we were treated to delicious soup, fresh apple bread, garden salad and good conversation.  After lunch, we were able to help make fresh farm-baked bread,...Ahhhhh...Make sure to ask for the recipe when we get home...It's a winner!  Afternoon chores went smoother than ever, the clean-up, dinner and evening games and gigling were the event. See you all tomorrow.
