farm chores



























Mira (10) has her first job. She's been "hired" to be a farm helper for some friends when they are out of town. They walked her through the daily morning and evening chores, left her with a typed list, told her she'd be paid $10 a day and left for the beach.

She's taken this new job very seriously, pouring daily over the checklist which she put in a special protective cover. I've been so impressed with how responsible she's been and how she's insisted on doing it all herself, even though that means doing things outside her comfort zone like having goats bigger than her jumping on her. It will get interesting in the fall when the goat has its baby and milking in on the chore list.
