Many people might not find pleasure in pulling up those nuisances in the garden. But this summer I find immense pleasure in them. This is the first summer since I had kids (almost 4 years ago!) that I am able to do small yard work chores (like weeding or sweeping the patio) with both kids playing contentedly (either by themselves or with each other). This is monumental for me!
A few days ago I spent a good 10-15 minutes weeding our back flower bed and then Benji used his plastic wheel barrow to take the weeds to the compost pile for me.
I may not be a master gardener (just look at my yard and you'll see that) but maybe I can hone a few skills now that my kids are a *little* more independent.
