Conversations from the Garden

The Girl wasn't too excited about throwing the limbs in the fire, but she tried her hardest to smile. "I can, Mommy..."
"This ground sure is dry, Mommy. Maybe it's like this in Africa where the poor people are..."
[Josiah]:"Do poor people in other countries work their gardens without shoes? This ground sure is hot."
[Mommy]: "Shoes are for special times, JoJo, like church."
[Josiah]: "Then I won't wear shoes, either, so I can work like they have to."
