Gardening

Our groundskeeper, Dennis, has planted flowers and shrubs. He waters and tends them and has things looking very pretty around here.

Karen brought some seeds back from the States. Today, Dennis and some of the kids were clearing a small plot of land to plant. They were planting tomatoes, cabbage, beets, and bell peppers. Dennis has a green thumb. The kids were excited to help and Dennis will show them how to take care of the plants and, when the time comes, how to pick them. He takes great care to show the kids things. Ana was working hard. She was shoveling and hoeing. She will sleep well tonight. She was so proud and happy to be working in the garden. Dennis was working hard. Fernando was working a little and playing a lot.

We need to be teaching the kids to raise vegetables. And as high as our grocery bill has become, if we can save a few bucks here and there, well praise the Lord.
