We are very fortunate in our neck of the woods to be enjoying some lovely spring weather. But with nice weather comes certain responsibilities: namely, the garden. Last week Cityman announced Saturday we would have the family project of clearing out the weeds (where did they come from?) and turning the soil for the new seedlings (which he is so lovingly starting in pods in the kitchen). Right now my family consists of myself, Cityman - who has a BROKEN ankle, 12 year old Constant Comet - who would rather be riding his bike, playing lego, or pretty much doing anything other than helping his mom pull prehistorically gigantic weeds, and 4 year old Busy Bee - who loves to help mom with anything, but is well... 4.
Fast forward: the garden is weeded and turned, I am finally able to move again (when did I get old?), Cityman is planning where his adorable little seedlings will go, Constant managed to help move the crazy amount of weeds to the green waste in time for Friday's take away, and Busy organized snail races that ended with a somber funeral for the looser (who knew snails were so competitive).
Now it's time for the rest of the yard...
