Playing in the Dirt

One of Drew's passions is gardening. My late sister-in-law Trudie, was a certified Master Gardener. During holidays and other gatherings with my family, my brothers and I would be hunkered down at the computer while Drew and Trudie would talk gardening. Drew became a certified Master Gardener in 2007 because of this. You can see a little of his handy work on the April 20, 2008 entry in this blog.

At Drew's doctor's appointment yesterday, Drew asked when he could go back to playing in the dirt (what I call his gardening). The doctor said it will be quite a while, from the very beginning they said Drew would have to stay away from bacteria. This means sick people and dirt. Right now is prime gardening time (I think) and he is disappointed about this. I am thinking about a "gardening party" where Drew would make a list of things he needs (or wants) to get done in the yard and vegetable garden and invite people over to help get things done. We would provide all materials and refreshments. Just a thought.
