yesterday i was looking through a gardening magazine. they had a little article about pumpkins and it reminded me of the pumpkin seeds we bought over the weekend. the previous day the girls helped me trim back some of the bushes and smaller trees in the backyard and we really cleared quite a bit of space. i said to ella, "oh ella, i know what we could plant in that space we cleaned up yesterday!" she then looked at me, sorta grimaced and said, "mom, but, ugh, i just don't have time to plant things all day long!"...okay then.
