The children and I got together to start the work on a garden. We went and gathered large stones and manure (the manure was easy, lots of cows around, but the rocks were a challenge I thought until I saw the old adage proven true "Small but Mighty!") Here is the work as we finish the rock outline.
Sharifa did TWO at a time! (another not quite so old adage- women have to do twice the work of men to have their work be seen as equal?!)
Geraldo doing a "juggling act" while Sharifa RUNS back for more!
Geraldo is a joker but doesn't mind hard work
Ah, two at a time rolling it might work on the really big one! William and Geraldo work together.
Wait...that isn't working, let's make a plan and get Sharifa in on it.
William supervises as Sharifa and Geraldo do the lifting work!
Geraldo let's William take his end and gets a smaller rock. Sharifa and William continue the lifting!
Geraldo comes back to help and they get another strategy- to roll it the across the shorter side!
But notice who was behind the camera the whole time?! Me! And while Cyril and Jaydine and I started collecting manure, they are still out there while I shoot away! Thanks kids you are the best workers ever!
