Endure

Day 27 of the LentChallenge. This poor plant has endured a good deal of abuse from Zion and a whole array of tools lately - despite our best efforts to explain to him he's hurting the tree etc. etc. And telling him off, he just keeps going back - with a screwdriver, a decorators knife, a scraper, a mini hacksaw... You can see the scars in the foreground - but still it lives on to see another tool!

In case you're wondering why a not quite three year old has so many tools at his disposal - we like to teach him how to use proper tools and he is very good/careful - the mini hacksaw was the latest and he's really good with that - and at keeping it out of his sister's reach!!
