Urban Farmer

Yesterday my pal Kip drove up here from Providence in his red truck with his red roto-tiller and made my vegetable garden ready for planting. The dirt smelled so good! Now with freshly tilled soil, it looks like a farm outside my kitchen window in the middle of the city! Kip brought his ten-year-old daughter and her friend who just moved here from Trinidad. We had a water fight to cool off and then a tea party. I gave Kip's daughter the teacup that has a cow hidden in the bottom and the girls went wild. Lily was happy to lie down on the cool linoleum in the center of things. I was ready to keep the girls here for a day or two longer. They felt the same way.
