I sort of inherited his tools when I lost him last year to a nasty disease....and using them takes me back in time over 30 years, away from the stress of this life.
I enjoyed telling them to grab a hold of these post hole digger’s, and put them to work, they have not only your dad’s but your grandpa’s blood and sweat on them.
It’ll be a year since his death in just under two weeks… So lately this has been my getaway each evening...between the almost nonstop rains
Not sure if this phone shot is visible.

That's wonderful that you are sharing the memories, and experiences with your children. Gardening is something children do not want to do, but later on in life, they appreciate it. I was one of those kids who hated to weed... but now... I have a large garden, and I enjoy just being outside, tending to it. I am looking forward to putting my garden in, but won't be able to do that here until about the end of May, first of June. However, I am about to start seeds in my greenhouse. It is always an exciting time of year!
