Summer [size0]Week of the 1st '10 Branches - 28 Stumps - 2 Trees - 2 Weeds, branches, branches, stump... trees? Raven frowned a bit as she looked around the field. Had Ardal's cousin not taken care of her field at all? The girl let out a small sigh as she picked up the axe she had just bought. Well, best get to work. This tool was a bit different from the one she was used to using, but they had left all of their farm tools back at the farm in Scotland. It had been too much to carry and they had had limited space for luggage. She decided to chop up a few of the smaller branches first, in order to get a feel for the axe. SNAP! CRUNCH! Two down. Didn't feel too bad... It wasn't the greatest axe, but it wasn't really a bad one. Now how about one of those stumps...? Raven walked over, looking at the chunk of wood sticking out of the ground to figure out her angle of attack. Standing with her feet slightly spread for balance, one slightly in front of her and one slightly behind, she raised the tool up and swung. THUD! Not quite as satisfying a sound... but it would, of course, take more to get rid of the stump than it had the branches. Apparently her uncle wasn't satisfied either. Raven spotted the man at the edge of the field, watching her with a raised eyebrow. As she straightened, he walked over, holding out his hand for the axe. "Give me that." She obeyed, handing the tool over to him. "I'll take care of the wood. You get rid of all these weeds." "...Yes Uncle..." Raven personally thought weeding was much harder work than chopping wood. You had to bend over and practically break your back as you wrestled stubborn, strong rooted plants from the ground. But she obeyed anyway, as she always did. --- The two worked like this all week, Ardal chopping up the branches, stumps, and trees, and Raven pulling up all the weeds and intruding patches of grass. They got up early and stayed out late; Ardal was determined to have this done by the end of the week. He wanted to get a Summer crop started as soon as possible. On the seventh they were finally finished. Ardal huffed, straightening and wiping his brow with a handkerchief as he looked around. There was a pile of weeds sitting at the edge of the garden to be dealt with, and a neat stack of lumber against the side of the house. And best of all, a clear field ready to be used. "...Perfect. Exactly a week. We can start planting tomorrow." Raven gave a quiet nod and the man glanced up at the sky, noting the setting sun. Job well done, in his opinion. Time to head in, have dinner, and get to sleep. They'd be right back to work again in the morning. |

Summer 8th '10 7:30am Ardal set the head of the hoe on the ground, laying his hand across the end of the handle. In front of him were several freshly tilled rows in the field, ready for the sowing of seeds. He looked over at the woman approaching him from the house. "Breakfast is ready for you, Uncle." "Alright. I've just finished with the tilling. Get to work planting." Raven nodded, going to get the seeds and watering can. She had already eaten her breakfast while he worked in the field. Now it was time to switch off. [align=center]Summer '10[/align] Week of the 8th Raven plants
