I know I haven’t talked much about Christian but we are still seeing each other. He’s such a wonderful person. He does things around here that he knows Mom can’t do like mowing the yard and weed eating. He even brought over a tiller he borrowed from a friend and tilled up a garden for us. He worked on that all last weekend and just about every evening this week.
My sister, brother and I built a scarecrow for the garden too. Christian put the wooden pieces together and we got some of Mom’s old pants and an old flannel shirt she had for the clothes. We put a pillow case stuffed with old rags and drew a face on him and attached that to the top. Then the final touch was an old Halloween wig we had around here and a straw hat. He looks more like a biker than a farmer but hopefully it will keep the critters out of the garden.
Mom has gone out now to find seeds and plants and we’re going to plant the garden and then Christian and I are going to go for a ride on his bike. Sounds like just what I need too.
