Farmlog - week 3 updates

        This weekend too we managed to visit the farm and here are the updates. I must say, all the veggies are doing great and entire farm is turn green now. This time also visited the natural pond at the back of farm which is filled with the recent rains. Also got a chance to meet another fellow Farmizenian and we talked about the excitement of good germination at his plot.

You may follow my previous farmlog here "How we became community farmers"

Meanwhile Farmizen had been posting exciting pictures of harvest from their various other farms and we cannot wait to see our day come soon :)

Nrityagram - a peaceful place to spend weekend morning

Though I am not a big time traveler, I enjoy visiting places of historic importance yet not frequented by many and also places where one can get to know and/or learn something very unique cultural aspect of that society! Well too many demands isn’t it?  However in one of my visit plan I discovered a very unique place to visit that is just around 35km (approx. 21.7 miles) from Bangalore! If you enjoy nature and calmness, this is perfect place for short visit on a weekend from Bangalore. Hmm, hard to believe?

Pebble or Stone painting

A day of yet another activity for kids..My LO have this hobby of collecting these pebbles where ever we go. So we decided to decorate them with paints and thus I can engage him for yet another 1-2 hours ;) Activity Level: Easy (Some adult help need for kids <=5 yrs) Supplies: Pebbles/stones preferably rounded ones, acrylic colors, paint brushes (0 number and flat), water/cloth to clean your brushes, waste newspapers to use as base for coloring No rocket science again..color your stones in vibrant color with flat brush. If required apply 2 coats. Once the base dries, decorate as per your choice. Here I am sharing some ideas.  You can also use poster colors or water colors if acrylic colors are not handy. But then you have to very careful not to get your decorated stones in contact of water! The one colored in blue below is done with poster colors.
