Claire likes to Hoe

Claire’s new favorite thing to do when gardening is hoe. She likes to turn the dirt and dig holes.

Last one!

Let’s hope the garden does well for all the work we put into it again this year. Otherwise, Claire will never believe what all the work we are doing is for if she doesn’t get to eat the fruits of her labor!
