"I did this today," Bobby says, pointing towards two huge flower beds. "I cleared them out for Mom. I thought she'd like it."

I blink, surprised and honestly, amazed. "You did all this?" There's a massive pile of weeds stockpiled at the side. "Mom and the girls are going to love it. Look at the butterflies and bees."

The brightly colored flowers beam back at us with insects buzzing about. It's beautiful.

Bobby nods, a hint of pride creeping into his voice. "Yeah. And there's more. Look."

He grins, his face lighting up. "I'm sorry I didn't try harder in lessons."

"But you didn't waste the day." I look around. I see wooden swings hanging under a huge tree. There's a see-saw, a climbing frame with bars attached, and even a rock-climbing wall. "This place is really something." "I think so too. Better than the big place."
