24 April 2008 ~ Mary's Garden

Mary spends every waking hour working with her garden. We no longer call it mom's garden. It's Mary's garden now. She's taught me a lot about how she does what she does, but she works with it so often she's always learning more. The weather has been too cold lately and even with my help her garden wasn't doing well so I told her we could start a garden in the basement for her. We keep the fire lit when it gets too cold so the plants will be able to grow without any problem. Most of the open space in the basement was cleared out to make room for firewood, but I cleared out the storage room shelves to make room for Mary's new garden. The stuff on the shelves I just threw out into the grainery where the firewood used to be. All except for the canned food I didn't know was there before. That went into the cupboards upstairs. Mary and I were in the process of filling buckets with dirt from the old garden to move down to the basement when I realized that I knew a better way to do it. I left Lindsay to help Mary with the dirt and went into town to get Mrs. Pollack to teach me how she is able to make dirt move like a liquid. By the time I was able to make dirt move where I wanted it to Lindsay, Grandma and Mary had already filled more than half the storage shelves with potted soil. Between being able to easily fill buckets with dirt and levitate them down into the basement the remaining shelves were filled within no time. It's passed midnight and Mary is still up tending to her new basement garden. There are already little shoots popping out of some of the pots. I'll put her to bed when I finish writing this, for now she's having fun.

Working with Mrs. Pollack today was an eye opener. Just since learning to create the type of air energy that Lindsay uses and the type of plant energy Mary uses I find it easier to learn the other types. Mrs. Pollack works with a kind of earth energy to move dirt around, which is similar to the plant energy Mary uses. I have decided to make it my primary goal to learn as much as I can about the different types of energy people use and see if I can learn to do all of the things that I've seen others do. I don't know why I seem to be the only one who can see and understand what is happening when people use their abilities, but I plan to take full advantage of it.

For now it is time for bed. Tomorrow I start learning as much as I can.
