In an attempt to create a meaningful learning experience and memory for our family, we decided to begin a small garden with my parents. Despite his chemotherapy treatments, dad is able to drive around on his 'Big Country' and provide hours of entertainment for Jaelyn and Addison. He does tire easily and has trouble breathing when it's too windy, but he still loves to be outside and is as active as possible. He was officially the CEO of the garden planting endeavor.
The site was Grandma and Grandpa Erman's garden, which unlike other childhood memories, has grown in size rather than diminish. I don't know how they took care of that vast garden throughout my entire childhood. We only planted a few rows before exhaustion set in.
Planting the onions, carrots, snap peas, and tomatoes was very romantic for us all; however, we'll see how we do with the more mundane tasks of weeding in the upcoming weeks.
