They’re weeding. Alex is weeding the asparagus bed and Julia’s weeding around the garlic.
Yeah, we don’t believe in all that namby-pamby feeding the children because we brought them into the world and we’re responsible for them garbage.
They’re out of kindergarten, they’re out of diapers.
They’re old enough to get out there and work.
Here’s Alex shredding newspapers to use as mulch around the strawberry plants.
And Julia made this rock garden underneath the vent opening from the basement.
She takes pride in her work.
Alex, stuck in the hot sun running the shredder, felt he got the raw end of the deal.
But it all evened out.
The next day Julia had to scrub the deck.
I’m thinking we might need the driveway re-paved next….
