Earning Our Keep
Hi! Sawyer here. Today on the reservation a few others and I made a big breakfast. Making pancakes (and bacon) usually isn’t something that one would consider difficult, but if your goal is to make enough to feed 12 people, then you might find yourself in for a challenge. And that’s exactly what we did. We made roughly 50 pancakes; all of which we ate. After breakfast, we helped remove weeds and other nutrient-depriving plants around the outside of the house. This took lots of focus and concentration, but as a group, we figured we could get the job done.
After weeding, we helped clean out two hydroponic plant towers to get them ready so we could add new seeds to them. We planted a huge variety of plants including (but not limited to) tomatoes, eggplant, watermelon, cucumber, basil, and more. We even had to change pH in the pumping system!
We also played this cool game called Avalon. It’s essentially a role-playing game that takes place in the time of King Arthur. We played this for such a long time and had so much fun playing it too.
