The Happy Lawn Care Man

Who knew that lawn care was so much fun?

Off to trim some trees

Happy, Happy

Doing some "lawning" as Alex calls it.

Alex is very enamored with the lawn care people who come to our neighbors houses.  Every time they come in their truck, Alex is mesmerized watching them and then wants to imitate what they are doing.  He loves "lawning" as he calls it and is creative in his use of tools (for example:  a teeball stand can double as a leaf blower).  One can only hope that when he is a teenager he will still be so fascinated with all of this and willing to do the "lawning".

Little Helper

Alex is my little helper in all endeavors. Yesterday I wanted to work on the yard, which was in desperate need of some tender loving care. I planted some veggie seeds in the garden, so hopefully those will start sprouting soon and we will have some veggies again this summer. I also wanted get some raking done, so I decided to buy Alex a little rake while we were out and about. He enjoyed it, although he still seems to prefer to try to help me with mine. Regardless, he is cute and is always a good helper. Hopefully this continues well into his teenage years....a mom can dream, can't she?
