We planted flowers in the front of our house. I mean, we seriously filled our retaining walls with flowers which probably marks this year as the first time that our house has not looked like a condemned drug house in the ghetto. Half way through planting I was getting tired and couldn't help noticing that there was a constant presence near me. He is 6 and has amazing, blonde, curly hair. I asked him, if he would like to try planting some flowers and he was absolutely up for the challenge... or lack there of. I couldn't believe how like a pro he wielded that tiny shovel and scooped fresh topsoil around the flowers just as I had done. Ben has always been an amazing little worker, but that doesn't keep me from being impressed regularly. Needless to say, he finished up and even made sure we had flowers around our lamp post and tree. It was so refreshing to have the job of gopher for a change. Maybe he'll let me take orders from him more often.
