The Work Is Endless
What would you do if you
had the chance to have
an ambitious 18 year old boy
come stay with you for a couple of weeks?
Well, I
got out the leather gloves
and garden tools
and introduced him
to a garden plot that looks
like a jungle!!
Sall's nephew is here for a couple
of weeks to "help out"...
Fortunately, for him we've had 4 days
of rain, so we haven't totally over-worked him
yet!
Unfortunately, for him when the sun did come out
there was an endless sea
of 4 foot dead brush that needed up-rooting....
The two of us
tugged and pulled all day long...
we created huge piles
of debris with yet more to remove!!
Thank goodness,
the wind died down that evening...
when Sall got home from work
they gathered around with
water hose, rakes, and pitchforks
and
lit it up!!!
The following day neither of us could hardly move...
my muscles were screaming at me
"you dummy,
YOU DUMMY!"
I've decided there's
one smart person on this farm....
All he ever needs is a soft place in the shade,
a bowl full of food and the scent of a pheasant
to chase when he feels like it!!
If only my life were that simple!
But, would the pay off be as rewarding?
(I'll think on it)...
