beans beans the magical fruit

You guys rock! People keep coming over and helping out. It's weird! It's like some sort of co-op or something...

This week Heather and Amy came over Tuesday morning and weeded a couple rows of corn with Tanis. They did a super job of rediscovering the corn and saving it from the encroaching weeds. In writing this I imagine a 1920's archaeologist (possibly named after a US state) hacking through a heavy tropical jungle, reaching the top of a hill where the underbrush isn't as thick and discovering there under the jungle canopy the remains of an forgotten ancient civilization. Course Amy and Heather didn't have to hack through heavy jungle underbrush or worry about diphtheria and snakes...and they didn't find an ancient civilization either...just corn...but still a great find in my books!

"It belongs in a museum!"

In any event, well done ladies!

That evening the Dortch family came over for a weed and feed. We BBQ'd first and weeded second. Kerri and Tanis weeded the green bean area while Eric and I watched the boys and once they were done Eric and I used our engineering skills to design and build two wood based Isoscelesolian External Support Systems (IESS). Also known in some circles as "teepee's". extraordinarily well built teepee's mind you!... Once we got those in we planted the bean sprouts around the posts and called it good. Great job Dortch's!!!
