The weeds are taking over my yard!!!
Finally, with a nice day to myself, I headed outside to conquer the jungle.
While weeding in the flower beds, I came across a dime.
So it does pay to weed, but that is slave labor, and that it what I had children for (at least that is what THEY think). In the end, I didn't even get to keep the $.10. My 4 year old ran off with it. HUMPH!I have come across a lot of interesting things deep down in the dirt over the years as I garden such as an old tennis shoe, tools a love note from the school down the street (which sadly included some very adult topics that are too mature for children) etc...
I'm still waiting for that BIG find that will put this place on the map. What that find may be, I have no idea, but I doubt it involves a shoe,
or a dime.
Isaac is sure he found a dinosaur in our backyard. Even then he STILL won't help with the weeding. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find a rare valuable coin. And I know what you mean, as I am out digging and pulling weeds I have to think about my four healthy children and wonder why I am doing this? In their defense, three of them are moved out on their own, but there is one healthy 21-year-old boy with nothing but time on his hands. Hmmmmmm.

Julie, Perhaps when your son is done with your yard, you could send him my way....
