No Co-Op on Friday, January 20th

Guys!!!  Whoever is doing the rain dances, STOP IT!!!  

I am so sorry, but once AGAIN we are too flooded to have co-op this Friday, January 20th.  

I am really not happy about this. I was hoping we would be able to dry out a bit quicker this time, but it is Wednesday morning and there are still way too many puddles in my driveway/yard/pasture to allow 50+ kiddos to go running around. Soon this won't be as much of a problem because with the warmer weather comes quicker drying out time, but winter weather takes FOREVER to dry out! 

The good news is that it appears as if all the rain is done in the forecast for the time being. (Also, all of our plants got free water... but I would have preferred that free water to have happened on Friday/Saturday rather than Sunday/Monday/Tuesday!)  So, we SHOULD have co-op on the 27th.  Hope to see you all then!

And just a reminder since this is time sensitive:

First, I highly recommend you signing up for a "field trip" to the Pinal County Fair on March 17th. It is free for homeschoolers that day (well, it's free for any school that day, but we count as "schools" ;-) ). 

Here's the post with more information about that: Pinal County Fair 

Second, I am the Dairy Goat Youth Supervisor for the Pinal County Fair...so I am going to let you know about an amazing opportunity. If your child is between 8 and 19 as of January 1, 2023, and lives in Pinal County, they have the opportunity to win ribbons and awards at the Pinal County Fair, March 15-19, 2023. They have the ability to show and/or sell animals: Dairy Goats, Poultry, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs (Cavy).  They can also display and/or auction off Ag Mechanic Projects (Woodworking, metal working, 3-D Printing, etc.). Many kids use these auctions to pay for college. And even if they don't make much money in the auction part, it is a lot of fun just to show. If you have registered dairy goats and would like to show them, I would be happy to help coach your kiddo after co-op on Fridays. My daughter, Ariana, would also love to help coach any kiddos who would like to show their chickens. It has been a while, but my son, Samuel could also help coach those interested in showing rabbits. (Goats and rabbits must be registered and tattooed--ask me if you have any questions about what that means.)

All projects must be registered by February 15th.
