What did all these volunteers do...

Besides cooking all different kinds of food every day, some other work got done also. Lots of wood got piled under the roof, so we would have warm in the house in winter. The first prize of wood piling goes definitely to Deja who did it so perfectly that my dad was worried if she knows that we are gonna burn it also. The pile of wood was just put so beautifully. So later on, she was always in wood piling team. Her back didn't like it so much though...but a lot of people managed to do that job. This is Deja doing what she was best at:

And this is Cristina and Clair cleaning our garlic:              

                                                 and one of the "favorite" jobs for all volunteers was weeding the plants, here are Albert and Zimin working in the garden:
This is the result of a group work of many volunteers :) For the ones who read Estonian, Siiri described and analyzed weeding this field in her blog: http://hetkedsiiriga.wordpress.com/2013/07/28/ka-korvitsapeenra-rohimisele-voib-manguliselt-laheneda/

I guess the most disliked jobs was cleaning the top of the barn but this was the job for rainy days and a job that needed done and was easiest with lot of people together. Here Siiri got on the picture doing that:
As it was still a sheep farm and all of volunteers wanted to do some work with sheep, there were some things they could help but during summer there is not much things we do with sheep but everybody got to see them and touch them and help a bit. 

As Albert and Cristina were the loudest to ask a job with sheep, they got to do it the most. One day it was time to measure the meat in sheep and give them some medicine and weigh them. So Albert and Cristina helped to catch the sheep for that:
And some of the jobs that were related to sheep were the jobs connected to wool and gloves&socks that we make from that wool. This is Albert teaching Gi-Pum how to put the wool on a cone:
And this is me in the evening doing my thinking face and trying to think what else volunteers could do next day that wouldn't give them long faces and pain in all different parts of their body...
