Bribery or Allowance
As you can imagine, after last weeks storms our property is littered with branches, sticks and twigs. We've been so busy that we haven't had time to pick them up yet. When we moved here we envisioned working shoulder by shoulder....all four of us. To some extent that's true, but turning tasks into games isn't always easy with some of the farm work. The kids had a blast yesterday picking up almost all of the sticks and putting them on the burn pile. As you can see from above Sid took some time finding antlers and in the more focused background you can see the huge pile of sticks and Charles hurling one on. They had a great time doing it and did it with no complaint.....the fact that they were earning $2 a piece for their efforts may have helped some. Hmm bribery or allowance?
