I think she has a very rich life. She's learning valuable skills, both caring for animals, and gardening, and I agree, these moments will be treasured by her later in life. My most treasured memories are of time spent wandering along river banks, through the woods, and gardening with my parents and grandparents. The most important thing is you're spending time with Malia. That cannot be replaced by any television, or video game.Curbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848125805420091724.post-6430919210239000732010-08-10T13:24:45.247-04:002010-08-10T13:24:45.247-04:00This process of coffee in the morning following my...This process of coffee in the morning following my mother asking what is what is exactly the process that inspired me to be a gardener.

We severely limited tv when our children were small and encouraged lots of reading. If only we'd had a garden. The children were all on their own before I started gardening. But I do try to involve the grandchildren when they visit.Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14949235207762990894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848125805420091724.post-34488953885299030592010-08-10T10:04:20.521-04:002010-08-10T10:04:20.521-04:00Mee - Thank you.
