On Thursday we welcomed the arrival of two badly needed migrant workers out of California. Although we live in an environment now where any person who is not a resident of your locality can be called and illegal Alien, Wife and I took advantage of an opportunity to bring back the workers who had done such a great job for us last year. We have a full list of things we want them to help us with with the main focus to be the garden. We are working them hard because we want to have them back in California before we draw the attention of ICE.
In all seriousness, having #1 and 1.2 come is a blessing. With their help, work that would take Wife and I many days to do, with serious consequences to our physical well being, gets done in a fraction of the time. There was a time a few years ago when my ego would have objected to getting help like this. Now, with the wisdom of greater age and recognition of the reality of diminishing physical capabilities, I welcome the help gladly.
And we welcome the time with our oldest daughter and the ability to spend meaningful time with our grandson.
