Story of my life (the short form)

When I was a kid we spent a lot of time weeding, milking cows and goats, canning, freezing, and drying food, churning butter, making candles, weeding, pulling up and/or chopping down tansy, scotch broom, thistles, and nettles, gathering firewood, feeding chickens, and more weeding.

We amused ourselves by making up stories, reading books out loud to each other, singing, and drawing pictures.
