A Little Help in the Garden

My grandnephew, Fenix, has been visiting. Yesterday morning he was up, dressed, and ready for backyard farm duty! He wanted to go with bare feet, but I don't allow that in the chicken coop. There's nothing quite as yucky as stepping into a fresh blop of chicken poo!

Funny five-year-old feet ended up wearing MY pink and green flowery rubber boots!

We picked okra, green beans, cherry tomatoes, and sweet snackin' peppers. After the garden chores, he enjoyed a breakfast of his favorite ... boiled eggs. Later in the day, he collected four eggs for future breakfasts!
I love this photo taken by his mama, Maggie. Before jumping into the car for the long road trip back home, Fenix picked a bouquet of zinnias especially for her.

I look forward to more bonding over veggies with this enthusiastic young gardener!
