Day 122
My younger son and I worked in the community garden today. It was not without complaint that he left his Saturday morning cartoons for this task. I promised him we would stay no longer than a half an hour.
When we go there he was quick to notice the winter squash that he and his brother planted a week and a half ago had already sprouted. This definitely provided the near instant gratification needed to maintain some level of motivation. When the half hour was up, he actually volunteered that we should stay longer so that we could finish weeding and mulching the row we had started.
A frozen lemonade (Del's if you're from these parts) on the way home, and I'd like to think that and the seedling will be enough motivation to get him back to weed another day.
