Garden Lessons

After working in the garden this afternoon with Bug I have learned a few new things.

1. She will have absolutely NO problem with throwing rocks into the lake that we will be visiting in a few weeks as she so perfectly demonstrated by the number of rocks she threw into our garden.

2. She does not appear to be afraid of those she is nicknamed after.

3. There is no need to spread a blanket out on the grass beside the garden next time. She will not sit and play on it. It will only get pulled into the dirt (right next to the nice little rock pile she created) adding a bit more laundry to the to-do list.

4. She is definitely no exception to the "kids like to play in the dirt" concept, but is just as loveable caked in it as she is after bathtime.

I don't believe this will be our last time gardening together. We both quite enjoyed it! Besides, look at the wealth of knowledge I've obtained in just an hour or less.

We're Not All That Different

The other day I was driving on busy Riverdale Road, a place I try to avoid if possible, when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. Now, I'm not in the habit of looking into other people's cars. I usually don't even notice if someone is waving to me, but there was quite a lot of hand movement happening to my left. I peered over, doing my best to appear not to be looking and noticed that the girl was signing. I looked in the passenger seat and in the back to see who she was signing to - no one. "Hmmm, strange...why is she signing to herself?" I said...out loud...to MYSELF.

I guess we're not all that different are we?
