If we weren't pulling the hoe, we were picking up rocks, throwing them onto a wagon, and then unloading the rocks at the rock pile. We found old bottles, arrowheads, pottery shards, and beer cans (though I don't think those were necessarily very old). Weeds and rocks make for "dirty beans" per my beloved grandmother. And every morning she would say, "We're purtnear done." Not.

We had no iPhones or any kind of electronic way to listen to music so we sang, we talked and laughed through every round. I started off with only 2 rows to clean. I was probably 8 years old. I worked my way up to having 8 rows. By the time I was a senior in high school, it was just my dad and I. He purchased bean buggies that we rode on through the field. I think I earned $25 my first summer. Kids today don't know what they are missing!Jo Ellen Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08857696472257897316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1924256360174115907.post-76318954936521740352017-07-22T11:14:09.684-05:002017-07-22T11:14:09.684-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jo Ellen Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08857696472257897316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1924256360174115907.post-63598553349293020302017-07-21T14:28:40.024-05:002017-07-21T14:28:40.024-05:00Great post & prompt!

We were probably 6 or 7, and my parents let us spend the money on summer camp tuition. :)Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842009936269879117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1924256360174115907.post-15440486242771500992017-07-21T13:54:32.324-05:002017-07-21T13:54:32.324-05:00My first job was in fourth grade.

I earned a box of 64 Crayola crayons. I still have it! Dad also required all of us kids to pick strawberries and raspberries for the local farmers. We were up before dawn and worked most of the morning. I hated it, but Dad insisted that we learn how hard farmers work so we would always respect them.<br />To this day, I believe our true American heroes are our armed forces, our farmers, and our public safety personnel. <br />And I refuse to pick berries ever again.Have momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13803118641799949347noreply@blogger.com
