“Shall we?” Bette waved her arm toward the back door.
Tina picked up her bag and made her way to the back of the house.
They were soon standing in the yard, Angelica on a blanket with some toys and the two of them considering the potted vine that had been placed just inside the gate.
“Do you have any idea where we should put it?” Bette asked.
“We have to maximize the sunlight and build up where it’s planted to allow for drainage,” Tina replied. She pointed to the back corner part of the yard. “That part of the yard gets great light all year round.”
“I’m glad the vine isn’t too big yet,” Bette said. “It would be too hard to move around the yard with anything less than a fork lift.”
“It’ll be easy to move in the barrel,” Tina replied. “Here, watch.”
She walked to the barrel, and stepped on its side while reaching across and pulling it over. She then rolled it to the desired location and tipped it back upright. She brushed the dirt from her hands in a self-congratulatory fashion.
“I’m going to get a few things from the car,” Tina said. “I did some research and I knew there were certain things you wouldn’t have.”
She walked out the gate to her car and Bette merely watched her exit.
“Mommy’s a good at this stuff isn’t she?” Angelica said as she continued playing.
“Yes she is,” Bette replied absently.
***********
“Are you almost done,” Angelica asked.
“Time for us to have a grape each,” Tina said as she patted down the last bit of dirt.
“That was a lot of work,” Angelica said, her disappointment at not having been swimming yet was evident. “But at least you’re done now.”
Tina plucked three grapes from one of the pyramid shaped clusters and held them in her hand as she rinsed them with the slowly running water from the hose.
“There are seeds so be careful,” she said as she handed one to each of Bette and Angelica. “Ready?”
They both nodded, and in unison they all took a bite of grape.
The slightly sour taste took Angelica by surprise as she wrinkled her nose up in response. She quickly grew accustomed to the flavour and savoured the rest of it as she ate, meticulously removing the seeds.

I love your stories, i read them more than once over the years.
But i don’t have time to reread this story, have to work very early in the morning , but i hope to read it when i am back tomorrow. I am looking forward to it!
You are a incredible writer and i do hope that you will find the time to write more! For now, thank you again for returning!
I was so happy to see your name again, I love your stories, off to read now,, but please continue to post more stories.,, please post soon.
Thanks for the shoutout! You’re an incredible writer with a natural style that pulls the reader in and makes one sorry when the chapter/story ends. Your writing demands rereading many times. It’s just that enjoyable. :-)
Brilliant, thanks so much for this. 62 Pages of pleasure.
Enjoy your stories which are good to read more than once.
Look forward to keeping on swimming :-)
I love this story, as I always enjoy reading your work!
Loved it, thanks so much. You are such a good writer!
Glad you are back,I love your stories.
I certainly remember this story and I love it more now. Thanks for updating the language so the profane language is present. It’s not that I am a complete potty mouth but let’s be realistic. Several of the stories that have transferred over have blanks or asterisks instead of the actual language. In my opinion, when this happens, the stories lose some of their authenticity and the characters lose their edge. I realize that it takes effort to fill in the blanks especially in longer stories. So thanks for doing that.
I find stories harder to read with the asterisks inserted…it’s like a jolt of reality interfering with my escapism. I had to get to the task of editing them out. I do plan to work on more stories; some easier than others because of where the files are. This story was first posted almost 10 (!) years ago, so the digital file was more challenging to retrieve. I’m not much for cursing, but the occasional well placed F-bomb can really get someone’s attention.
@JKS I can’t believe this story is almost 10 years old! It reads now as fresh as it did then. I really love your stories because they are so well written with realism, humor, sarcasm and authenticity. It also helps that for us ORs (Original Readers), it follows canon for the characters and storylines. :-)
WOW, what a fabulous surprise seeing you back here, JKS! So glad you found your way back here and have even edited! Let me know if you have any questions or need any help!
Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing again!
Thanks for your effort of editing and for giving us this wonderful story again.
It’s still as beautiful as I remember it from reading your story for the first time a few years ago.
Finally I managed to finish reading!
I was slowly reading this story.
And I confess that it was a great trip.
Pretty and wonderful.!
And to think that have passed since the 10 years, but
It remains very current.
The entire universe.
Don’t remember seeing this before and it was wonderful, took me back a ways. So great to have you back giving us something to read from you. Wish other former writers would come back to us, all of you are valued and missed greatly. So many of the stories are not completed, would be so nice if they were. Again welcome back, looking forward to more. Thanks.
Loved this! I love your writing. I’m so glad I’ve come across your stories, be it years later but better late than never lol
