The Garden

You guys are right.  We should work with what we have AND put the kids to work.  I took your advice to heart.  One of the things I really want is a fall garden.  It was a beautiful day.

Someone who will remain nameless, but whose initials are Jacob Bettendorf, had a very bad attitude.  Those things just go together well, don’t they?  Disobedient kids and work that I need done.  It works out well for me.  What would I do if everyone behaved?  Nothing would get done.  We’d all sit around reading books and blogs and just be happy.  Although I’m pretty pleased with our current system.

You remember my big garden spot right?  It is being turned over and rocks and roots removed so we can prepare to plant something, anything.  Yes, by hand.  It is best, believe me.  We want to cultivate.  Let us grow something.

And guess whose attitude is improving with each shovel load?
