I always save my very worst, nitpicky weeding jobs for when Kayla's coming over. That bed on her left? I'm growing strawberries there, not chickweed...supposedly.

We chatter away, but still manage to get a lot done...although apparently not enough to keep our feline supervisor happy.

"Hey, is this a hen party or a work session?" asks Huckleberry. He cracks the whip...then sits down on the newspaper so we have to expend twice as much energy to work around him.

Thanks for braving the yellow jackets, the ornery cat, and the enthusiastic goats, Kayla! We'll look forward to seeing you again next week.
