cucumber picking

John found the faucet in the middle of my mother's garden and quickly became "washing man", i.e. soaking wet. I love going here because the children need absolutely no toys. Ella spent last week there, and I have been thinking that this kind of week has the kind of authenticity that children truly need. She always comes back with a heightened sense of where food comes from. That and the desire to watch some TV.
