Agnetha's Grove
We are going to plant bushes in long fine rows in the next part of the garden and call it "Agnetha's Grove". Bushes? That's right says Bjorn we need to plant some bushes. So I rode over to Felicity in Firgrove and asked her for shoots from her bushes, they would be perfect for the garden. Just as Landon had, poor Felicity seems to have had some not so good dealings with Agnetha.
Are you sure you know what your getting into? says Felicity. Agnetha isn't right in the head, as maybe you have noticed?
She actually used to work here, but I had to no choice but to fire her.
Felicity continued to explain...
When I woke up one morning Agnetha had gone around the whole village and woken up all the old pensioners and put them to work weeding the gardens around the fences.When i asked her why she told me I should stop whining and get a shovel to help. She also said the old raisins shouldn't by lying around just collecting a pension! I really had to tell her she couldn't work here anymore.
I returned to Bjorn with the shoots, and noticed Agnetha had a task for me, no rest for the wicked as my mom used to say. It was time for me to roll up my sleeves and get back to work.
I've been waiting since 3 in the morning for you to show up here to star work, you sleepy-head. Mark the edges of the grove here with the measuring stick, go ahead you know how this is done.
You kidding me Agnetha! I don't get out of bed at 3 am for any reason, let alone to tend to a bush garden. I'm starting to see the hard task master that you are known for. Like the good girl that I am, I went and placed the sticks around and returned to her, so she could get started with the chainsaw and dynamite where I marked off over night.
I return the following morning to find Agnetha had in deed worked extremely hard during the night clearing and preparing the garden beds for me. I took the bush shoots and planted them in the beds as requested.
Agnetha seems to be mellowing out a little, showing compassion for others is behavior not seen in her to date. I felt a little embarrassed by calling her a hard task master, no matter how true it was at the time. Thanks Agnetha, I truly appreciate your kind words and gift.
New Daily Quests
Bjorn wants to just stand for awhile and enjoy the green masterpiece, then out of nowhere he begins to contemplate life and share some words of wisdom.
Sometimes you need to choose your path in life. It is important to do what makes you love if you are going to be happy.
So, it is now time for me to change paths. I am going to start riding!
Riding? It was right about now I fainted, and it wasn't from being overjoyed with excitement. I did not see this coming and was in total shock. Bjorn on a horse? What a picture I have right now in my head and I will say it isn't very pretty. I see Bjorn falling from this horse every time he turns a corner and faints, due to seeing all the beauty Jorvik has to offer him. Bjorn will spend more time on the ground than in the saddle. Then I begin to laugh... imagine Bjorn on this new horse of his at the start line of a championship race. Poor Bjorn and what about the Garden?
The garden? Which garden? Aha... nah... forget that. That was ages ago... I've moved on.
That was an earlier chapter in my life. Now I'm going to move on to something I've dreamed of for my whole life.... or at least since this morning... riding!
Apparently Bjorn has already spoken to Judy at the Equestrian Center about getting a horse, and she has promised to lend him one. Would I mind riding over there to get it for him? Honestly I would have recommended riding lessons for Bjorn before he even contemplated getting a horse of his own. Who am I to question him, reluctantly I rode over to see Judy.
It's at this point Agnetha wants to talk to me about something, and all I can hear in the background is Bjorn mumbling to himself...
... now ... lets see ... how do I get up into the saddle? What are these bits of leather going up to Brunte's mouth? Why do you have bits of metal on your feet ....
Mystery of the Hay Drying Shed Horse
I knew this horse! He looked so familiar to me, OMG it's the mystery horse inside the hay drying shed at the Manor. This horse has been hiding in the shed for months, and was the talk of many and visited by few.
Finally, after all this time the mystery has been solved and 'Brunte' has now moved onto greener pastures. He will be much happier in the open air down at the Winery Garden with Bjorn and Agnetha.
