Today was very exciting for me! We got to really use the recently purchased tractor and rototiller. Since I have limited garden space we are expanding and adding rows in the field beside my parent's house.  I am a firm believer that we create our own reality and that everything that manifests in the physical world starts out as an idea in our mind.  I have had a picture in my mind's eye for years now of rows of flowers in my parent's field.  Today that vision finally became a reality.  Mark and his son Mason did the tractor work while me and my daughter Camden planted 16 varieties of dahlia tubers. I don't think Mason knew what to think at first about all the flowers but once he knew there was a tractor involved I don't think it mattered.

My boy, Gabe worked on math homework with Grandma and played  baseball. He doesn't understand why he can't drive the tractor (his feet don't even reach the pedals).

Mark in action.  Yes- I think his tractor is sexy

Mason getting it done.  I have to say that Mason is the hardest working teenager I have ever seen!

Being silly makes the work fun.
