I take no credit for this, but I am excited to watch my children finally set a concrete goal and eschew all other interests to pursue it. Last night they were introduced to the game minecraft and wanted a copy. They found out how much it cost and ASKED for work! I made up a list of jobs last night, and they have been working nearly continuously and generally on task since 9am weeding and cleaning tile grout by hand.
Other highlights from the day:
- Our bees are loving the lavender in the front yard. The have also drawn comb on all but one bar.
- Most tomato plants are up to 2 or 3 vertical supports now
- The lemon tree has several new lemons on it (the first round all fell off but one, and a bird got that one, but we've learned that lemons will bloom relatively continuously
- Quinton says bunny (he pronounces it baaughly), car (caugh), and truck (cuck)
- We have a few cherries on our Richmonds that are ripe, and even though the birds got them, it's good to see them viable
- We have a few blueberries which hopefully means my acid amendments have been sufficient
- I tore out the remaining butter crisp lettuce (which was bolting) and turned into into mulch for another round of dry beans
