Accomplishment

I asked Merril, “what should I write about today?”  Her answer was “accomplishment.” I reckon I can see why she said that.
We are involved in a Family Fun Day that is coming up.  The one last year was great.  From where I was, the petting zoo was a big hit with the kids.  It was great for them to be able to interact with small farm animals.
We will run a Market at it, with a number of items for sale.  The number of people that come to it is far greater than normal - which is good.  Maybe no one wants what we have each time we are just outside the pantry, but on the Family Fun Day others come and can want what we have.
We have a number of small plants which can be divided and sold.  That has been something we have wanted to do for a while.
Yesterday I potted around looking at and preparing the place for laying mulch in a freshly cleaned up area.  Merril was getting and potting plants.  It was something she has wanted to do for ages and yesterday provided the chance to do it.  The theory is that by the time the family fun day comes around, the plants will have established themselves and be ready for sale.
Merril was happy with her accomplishments yesterday.  The plants are in pots and hopefully doing their thing.  If the past is anything to go by, they should be sold in very little time. Others are donating stuff but more would be good.
After that we helped someone clean.  It was their first time and gave us a chance to do what we felt needed to be done.  It is a regular thing for us to go down to N3C and set up for the Sunday.
It was not an “over the top” day, but, combined with other things we did, it was interesting.  Chief amongst everything was our sense of accomplishment.
