Day 9: Getting Our Hands Dirty

PJ still isn't feeling that well, so we didn't really do much yesterday but work around the house and sort paperwork.

But, we did manage to drag ourselves out of the house for a little bit and head over to Thomas' mom's house to drop off a piece of furniture. While we were there she asked us to help her pot a few plants she had been meaning to do for a while now. If you know PJ, you know his feelings about plants and potting and how he's completely in his element when he's getting his hands dirty. He grew up on a farm and was always planting trees and flowers all over the place. His parents didn't mind, so he was able to stretch his creativity as far as he could. Now, any opportunity he has to work with plants he takes it and runs with it, which worked out well for Thomas' mom.

Sometimes it just feels good to get your hands in the dirt and get them a little dirty doesn't it? It can be therapeutic in a way that a lot of other things can't, and most of the time, it's completely free!

Also, we came home later that night to find this scene. Love that they all get along so well because it could have gone the complete opposite way.
