Joyful sweeper

So here’s what my Sunday afternoon looked like today….
The water tank was getting low and since I had some free time, I went and pumped for about 45 minutes. The pump is by foot power so I just pretended I was working out on a stairstepper. I was joined by a young girl who decided she needed to keep me company all afternoon. She collected the runoff water and then went behind my house and took a bath. Then as I sat to relax, she entertained herself by sweeping the porch with a broom that consists of about 40 broom straws tied together with a tiny piece of fabric. She tried to tell me that I need to go buy a new broom as this one had lost a lot of straws. Humming to herself, she turned the ‘broom’ upside down and used the thicker ends to sweep the forest floor in front of my house. I was amazed, how many 10 year olds do you know would willingly sweep the dirt and sing while doing it. She was an inspiration. I actually look forward to sweeping tomorrow because she made it look so fun.
