The rain is coming down sideways today, but we used the day to get some yard work done despite the soggy conditions. (For the record it was 60+ degrees and gorgeous yesterday, which is just plain cruel, if you ask me.) One of the "must do" chores for the day was helping Carson start some pumpkin seeds so we can watch them grow over the next few months. He was pretty excited through the whole process of planting and I explained that next we needed to put them out in the rain because they needed water to grow. It made sense in my mind, but I realized when he was still staring at them about five minutes after we put them outside that he's used to a little more, say, instant gratification. This will be a good lesson in patience!
