How great. I had mine picking up pine cones this weekend. They wanted to know why we didn't help. I told them they are shorter and closer to the ground and don't have to bend as far. Their reward was all the oysters they could eat at our Super Bowl party and boy did they eat.

Just so you know, I'm called Child Services. It's a crime to have those kids working so young! And manual labor too! At least you could teach them to drive the tractors and trucks!

P.S. What's their hourly rates for tilling and weeding?

Hi Moringa
I just wanted to say how blessed you are not only cuz your grandkids are so beautiful, but that they like to do the gardening-type work.

Tell us more about your farm and show us more pics, OK?

Shades of my childhood! No boys in our family, so we three girls did it all. Many years later, I got into a near shouting match with an ad executive who told me there was no such thing as 6 foot tall cotton (-there is when the conditions are right) and that there was no way I knew how to milk a cow. Silly man.

Ha, did you tell him that you'd be happy to go to a dairy anytime? It would have been a hoot to squirt milk in his face.

"Now bend over and watch closely so you can see..."

L in FL, wish I'd thought of that at the time! I had lots of practise with the cats - they showed up at the corral twice a day at milking time.

They are adorable! And they look like they are having a great time.
