Garden Planting


With Yakityschmakity entertaining the kids, the rest of the family went to work on the garden. It seemed like a beehive of activity. People were spread out everywhere planting tomatos, corn, and green beans. Green beans are a must. Leslie was horse poop from head to toe when she finished, but she cleans up just fine. It was fun to see the daughters-in-law in action at the planting. They are such wonderful women. My sons all hit the jackpot with their eternal companion choices. In life we all grow one line at a time and learn together and sometimes alone. Like I’ll take a stab in the dark here, but I’m betting Stephanie wears something on her feet next year other than white flip-flops.
Dakota is down and out and was laying in the shade supervising the entire process. She is such a trooper with this hard pregnancy. Such a great mother. She gets that from Leslie. I was weepy all day remembering my dad. I wish I could be the great person he is.
