I was pleasantly surprised, as I started to mark off the garden beds in the newly fenced meadow, to have Lorenzo aban follow me around asking about what I was doing and why. When I got the wheelbarrow, his interest increased, and when I began to plunge the shovel into the soil, he immediately asked for his shovel. Side by side in the beds, acting as backhoes, we dug out the first trench and dumped the soil into "the dump truck." Then we were drilling rigs, fracturing the soil at the bottom of the trench, followed by bulldozers, pushing the next section of soil into the trench. When we finished the last bed, Lorenzo exclaimed, "That was fun, can we do some more?"
