Another great week has passed at Humble Hill and we did a fair amount of business at the Columbia Farmers Market. The frostiness still has some skittish about putting plants in the ground so we haven't hit our peak yet. Yesterday Aaron and I were taking turns weeding in the greenhouse with a scuffle hoe, and Ethan was watching us, and it suddenly dawned on him that most of the "weeds" were actually volunteer tomato plants from last year. He called an immediate halt to the work, and proceeded to pull up all the healthier looking seedlings, and proclaimed that even though we didn't want them, HE did! So Aaron, bless his heart, tilled up a separate spot for Ethan to have his very own garden, fenced and all. Now as to whether or not Ethan will keep it cared for remains to be seen. Who knows, he may put us to shame with his spot! As for the hen house, we still don't have any chicks yet, but we now have two broody hens, or "clucks" as some call them, so we're excited for that to happen. Tonight is laundry and dishwasher soap making night, I'm out of both and I can't put it off any longer I guess.
PS - Aaron learned the hard way that the Bible means it when it says to keep the Sabbath holy and not work: a nail in the foot and two times biting his tongue was pretty convincing.
