Those Were The Days 2.0

My first goat' Nita' rode home in the back window, she was a baby but very wild, I'd take her into the shed and she would try to beat her head into walls.
She ended up really caring for me, followed me everywhere even chased ther car if I was in it.

Talking about kids today....
Yesterday I seeded 70 pots for vegetable and flower garden beds outside. My daughter lives with us with her 3 children, ages 8,10,11. This morning at breakfast I asked my 3 grandkids if they liked to garden. The youngest my granddaughter said yes. The 2 oldest (boys) weren't interested. I was hopeful that they would take an interest in my seedlings. I still get that good feeling when I see that tiny curved stem breaking through the soil, the seeds germinated. I will teach my granddaughter and try to keep her interested in gardening.

My Grandmother on one side of my family, and my grandfather on the other were both farmers. I wish I had learned there methods.

A lovely story! Thank you so much for sharing, Tony!

I have two that just loved messing around in the dirt with mom, as for the others, they absolutely loathed getting their hands dirty, with one even going as far as telling me that gardening was boring!
