Happy Halloween

To celebrate Halloween we carved pumpkins into Jack 'o lanterns, played bingo in the cabin, lit fireworks from the fire, and went trick-or-treating!







Happy Halloween!

Picking Hardy Kiwi Fruit

This is hardy kiwi fruit (kokuwa).



This is how you pick hardy kiwi berries.
1. Find the vines.
2. Climb the tree.
3. Shake the branches.
4. Gather the fruit.
5. Eat the hardy kiwi berries.

Minori-chan and her mother drew pictures of their hardy kiwi fruit picking experience. The last picture asks, "How do they taste?" Minori-chan smiles and says, "good!"

Autumn Returns

Welcome back.

It is so nice to see everyone again!

There is a special holiday at this time of the year in Canada. It is called, 'Thanksgiving' and it is celebrated the second week of October.

At this time Canadians are thankful for the bountiful harvest. Families often get together for a special dinner. They normally eat roasted tureky with stuffing, vegetables from the garden, and apple or pumpkin pie!

Last week the tNt Adventures in English students did a little harvesting too. They went into the garden to pick the carrots and burdock that they planted in the spring.

Of course we shared some of the carrots with the horses too!



We then went for a walk looking for red, green, yellow, orange, and brown leaves.

Autumn sure is colourful!

親子一日イベントデー

今日は初の親子一日イベントデー!

あいにくの大雨でしたが、なんとか釜飯、BBQ,カレー作り、ヤマベ釣りなどをこなせました。

特に午前と釣り中は大雨でしたが、やなぎの棒で作った竿と仕掛けで魚が釣れましたね。

先週皆でとった野いちごに、ルバーブを混ぜてタミーがジャムも作ってくれました。

極北伝統のパンバノックもおいしかったですね。

今日は大家さんが協力してくれ、そして皆さんの手際よいサポートのお陰で無事に

終えることができました。

また機会を見てイベントをやりたいと思います!

Wild Strawberries

On our walk to the river, we saw beautiful purple and pink lupin flowers and cute ponies in the field. We were surprised to find many wild strawberries ready for picking! As we didn't have any containers with us, Tomohiro made cups out of fuki leaves.

I used the berries we picked to make wild strawberry rhubarb jam. We can taste it during the summer barbecue that we will have this Saturday! Let's catch some fish to put on the grill too!
