The Mint Disaster

Hello everyone! How has your day been going? It was really pretty outside, so I 

decided to take a walk. 

When I came back, I saw June tending to her mint plants. She was really hot

and sweaty, and looked she needed some help.  

Weeding isn't my favorite thing to do, but I wouldn't mind helping June for a little while.

"June!" I called. "Do you need some help?"

She turned, and looked a little relieved to see me. "Oh, yes please!"

 I sat down beside her, and she showed me which plants to pull up and 

which ones not to. 

We chit-chatted while we worked, which was great because I hadn't had 

much sisterly with June since I had joined the family. She was always busy volunteering

at nature centers and planting flowers and herbs. We were having such a 

great time that I stopped paying attention to which plant I was pulling up!

 Believe it or not, I started pulling up June's mint!

After a while, June noticed what I was doing. 

"Isabelle!" she cried. "Stop! You're pulling up the mint!"

I stopped and looked down at the mint plant that I was about to deposit

into my weed pile that was now more mint than weed.  

"Oh my goodness!" I exclaimed. "June, I am so sorry! I'll buy you some new 

mint plants. I am so sorry. I know how hard you worked to

keep them healthy."

"That's all right Izzy," June said. "Mint is easy to tend and grows 

back quickly. And besides, I was thinking of picking some anyways. 

Come on, I have an idea with what to do with them."

And so we walked back to the house, taking all the mint I had picked with us.
