Leon had no idea what to talk about with Haley and Emily, so he decided to leave the festival for a while. He headed back to the farm to plant the strawberry seeds he had just bought.
After all, Leon had big ambitions. When two people were together, things could easily get out of hand, and without a chance to be alone, he didn’t dare approach them just yet.
Back at the farm, Leon expanded his existing fields, breaking new ground.
It had been a while since he’d picked up the hoe. He bent over, step by step, turning the smooth earth into loose pits. In each pit, he dropped one seed. He kept digging until there were two hundred pits, each with a strawberry seed buried inside.
Next, he set up the water pump to draw from the pond beside the field and watered every new seedling. With that done, he built four scarecrows and placed them around the strawberry patch.
“Haven’t opened new land in a while. I’m exhausted.”
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Leon stretched his sore back and sat on the cabin steps, sipping water with a sigh.
Thankfully, the water pump made the job much easier. Without it, he couldn’t imagine how long it would take to water such a large area by hand every morning. Technology really did make life better.
