frank's fields

this is what keeps my eldest quiet for hours...packing peanuts 'sown' carefully in the 'field'. (of course, all i can see is a pretty cool design...*puts thinking cap on*) for his irrigation pipes he's sticky taped drinking straws together. genius, huh? today he says he'll be mostly irrigating (watering on a huge scale for those unfamiliar with such a term) and hopes to harvest the crops later if the weather is good in the playroom.
