We did some major work on the front yard over the weekend. Drip system repaired, soil amended, annuals & perennials planted, trees and shrubs SERIOUSLY pruned, forty-something back thrown all out of whack, on & on.
As Amanda and the kids were bagging up all the debris, I was treated to:
Amanda:
"Harrison--hold the bag OPEN--"
Harrison:
"I'm TRYING. The wind keeps blowing it shut."
:: pregnant pause, ripe with frustration, downcast eyes, and a wrinkled brow ::
"I'm NOT the creator of laws and physics, you know."
As Callahan once said: "A man's GOT to know his limitations."
