Farming 101

It rained A LOT last night.
(Definition of A LOT: Aaaa Looooooottttttt)
It thundered too.
A LOT.


When the clouds parted for a few minutes this morning, we took Grace outside. All the rain from the night before ousted the worms in our front yard. A LOT of worms. 
See above definition...there were A LOT of worms!!


I was so thankful they were worms and not snakes.
Anyway, the appearance of SO many worms prompted Grace's first farming lesson.

Poop = fertilizer


Worms poop.
Poop is fertilizer.
Fertilizer grows crops.


Highly sophisticated stuff but she was enthralled - with the worms that is.
She definitely has the makings of a farmer's daughter.
  



In fact, the only thing we could do to get her away from 'worm highway' 
(what we dubbed the 20 foot path of worms along the edge of our grass) 
was fly a kite!




What a weekend! Kites AND worms!!
At bedtime, when I asked her what she wanted to talk about, instead of Snow White, she answered, "WORMS!"
A farmer's daughter indeed.

Jody you are so perceptive. The blue sky looks unreal because it is unreal. I doctored the photos because it was sooo dark and gloomy you could barely see Grace and the kite!! hehhehe
