Planting Corn

Yesterday, we planted corn. Although I was the only human on the job, I had lots of help and supervision.
Peg and Jack observed me curiously. They seemed to wonder why I kept walking up and down the garden so often.
Abby thought the seed corn was for her to eat. I'd drop some into my furrow, and she would come behind me to find it.
My very best helper was my kitty, Spunkabitty. He followed me up and down the garden, watched me hoe the dirt (at the risk of his little pink nose), and actually planted a few seeds for me. He pounced upon the corn as I dropped it into the row. As he dug around in the soil in pursuit of his seed, it was thoroughly buried. Thanks, Bit!
