A SPECIAL DAY AT THE SCHOOLHOUSE.

It was a special day at the farm today. It was sunny and beautiful, in the middle of January... but it was also the last day for a couple of our little ones at the schoolhouse who are moving away. Indy and I got to join in and be part of a sweet gathering to send them off.
