There was a whole lotta soil to be distributed for the "Three Sisters" (corn, squash, and beans) planting at St. Stephen's this afternoon. I couldn't believe the gusto with which Jack grabbed a shovel taller than he is and started scooping horse poop. Claire carefully counted out beans. After a few hours in the garden and a good scrub in the tub, they both crashed hard on the couch. Playing in the dirt is good for you!
