Last week we cleaned my son's room. It was quite a project. He is my organizationally challenged pack rat. So far he has been working very hard at keeping his room looking great. My job now is to encourage him each day to persevere until he becomes habitually disciplined to clean up after himself. This is where I usually fail. I'll get distracted with something else, forget about his room and his newly forming habits, and the room will become a scary place again. But I didn't find that library book we've been looking for.

My daughter also got us going today with the garden. She read a Dear America book about a girl planting a Victory Garden and was so inspired she decided to plant her own. We pulled weeds, prepared the beds (garden beds that is), and planted canteloupe, carrot & spinach seeds, and several tomato plants too.

I wish I could post photos. Our camera died last week as well. Bad week for electronics at our house.
