Friday night the Rainbows brought Iris and Thomas to the farm for a quick visit.

Thomas is an environmental historian completing his dissertation in history at NYU this year. The name of his dissertation? “Three Little Pigs: Development, Pollution, and the ‘Greening’ of East Germany, 1970-1989”

He and Iris jumped right in to the farm life and were delightful to have.

Iris got to do a bit of shepherding escaped sheep and hog whispering

and Thomas got his hands dirty moving pigs and installing whey lines.

The kids, of course, found plenty to delight them.

Such a fun weekend.  Come again!
