Fern Friends is Licensed, Hooray!

It's been a hot week at Fern Friends! Watering the plants this week is a much bigger job, and when we get permission to water one thing, it's a lot of fun to water everything. Be expecting more water table and watering can play in the coming week, and check your extra clothes. We did some cooking this week for lunches and snack, and I expect more coming up. The garden play has taken off in a big way, too, as checking the bed for sprouts became a daily activity, and some of our friends got to plant their own garden all by themselves without much in the way of help. If we keep working on it and it grows nice and bushy, we'll have more materials to play with outside. :) Our inside castle boxes were a little drab, so we painted them, and as soon as I figure out how to reach it down, the sheet covering the porch roof will get a kid color touch, too. 

This week has brought some changes, and some difficult surprises. Fern Friends has a license with my name on it now, and once again we find ourselves looking at hiring a new person. Molly will be coming in from 9-2:30 during the next week, and we are scheduling interviews in the evenings again. I have hired Jenn to handle the hiring process this time around (with input) and she will be bringing candidates to the parents to meet and grill soon. The ad we wrote this time seems to have attracted different candidates than the previous one, and she is conducting the preinterviews with her usual efficiency. You can reach her at jennfromfernfriends@gmail.com with any questions about this process. She says she already has several promising applicants!
