On The Tenth Day of Christmas We Dug Up a Rock!

Yesterday morning, we were cultivating one of the second year plots. Then, Katja came across a rock. It didn't seem big at all. Of course, because it was still covered with soil. We were able to dig about three inches deep, since we started with it five minutes before the farm chore was over. So today I was sort of looking forward to digging it up. We had forty-five minutes to do it. And we were six girls, Erica, Evee, Charissa, Katja, Kimiko, and me.

We were doing pretty well. Suddenly, we saw it move a little when Charissa hit it. We all started screaming and getting excited. A few of us tried to pull it out of the soil. Then, VICTORY! The rock was out. But sadly, while we were digging it up, we found another rock right next to it. It seemed to be the same size. Turns out, it was one third bigger than the first one. We just kept digging while Charissa, Evee and Erica took turns with using the pickaxe. We really couldn't see the end of the rock. Then, while I was digging with my trowel, I saw it. Everyone got excited again. We were more motivated this time, and working at twice the amount of speed. Eventually, we got it out. We were all so happy. We were jumping up and down saying we did it. I know, it's just a rock. But it was good bonding time.

On our way to the tool shed, we saw another rock on Erica's plot. It looked like it was going to be twice the size of what we just dug up. So we were just like "No way! Not today!"
