we had the most productive weekend ever! I ache in every bone and muscle in my body, and maybe some that aren't in my body. I will write it all up soon, but for the moment, let me just say how much I appreciate cheap labor.
We've had these wooden barrel-style planters on our deck since...well, before we moved in. They were looking kind of worn down, so I was trying to decide whether to give them away or toss them. So I lifted one and discovered that they were pretty much held together by dirt, roots and wishful thinking. there was no bottom left at all.
The kids neatly stacks the remaining bits of barrel and the rocks and emptied all the dirt into a wheelbarrow -- mostly Thing 1 and Thing 2, but even Thing 3 got into the game.
