Helping Out
Sometimes the children help out without my asking. It makes me happy to see them take initiative on a task. Somehow though, they mostly enjoy the job of dragging pruned Norway maple branches out behind our cedar windbreak. It is a blessing for me because by the time I'm done pruning my arms are aching from reaching up to the branches and working the big pruning shears.

My girls helped today too!! Thanks for the snapshot of encouragement - it's sometimes hard to find the patience to allow them to help at this age. But I know that allowing them to help now will go a long ways in getting them to help when they're your chidlren's ages.

Would they like to come to FL to haul limbs? :) My oldest always says he wants to help, but only lasts on the job about 4 or 5 minutes.
