I wanted to sit. To read. To observe. Eli! Suddenly wanting to dig up the front of the lawn. Purchasing ten more hedges. Purchasing two dwarf arborvitae. Purchasing ten bags of soil and even more mulch. All at once. Suddenly!
I wanted to sit.
So…that’s all been done…and a neighborhood boy hired to water the trees at a later date when we’re on vacation. The lesson is this: When Eli yells…’Hey! Come down here a minute. I want to show you something’…I will always end up driving a car filled with a forest and dealing with a cashier named Dominic who rings my receipt incorrectly.
I’m staying upstairs.
