New Yard Man

I have hired a new yard man...isn't he cute? After the several freezes we had here I had alot of dead leaves in the trees and bushes and then with the recent winds they have all ended up on the ground in my backyard. I can't believe I have 4 large trees in my small backyard, nice shade in the summer but the dropping leaves are out of control during the winter months. So this weekend when this cute guy showed up and offered to help me with the yardwork I decided to take him up on the offer. We ended up with 11 black bags of leaves. We trimmed a few bushes and got rid of alot of weeds that have sprung up now that the weather has gotten warm. I know ladies you all want to hire my new guy but sorry he is not available.

Of course little sister wanted to help to. We really needed some bubbles while we were working. Made for such a wonderful side affect to yardwork. She actually helped some to but was more into the break times.

Of course when you have hired help you always need to offer them some refreshments at break time. Juice boxes seemed to be the perfect thing. I wonder if I could get those "little" men on the table to help too?

Now big sister was another story. She wasn't really into helping so she stayed inside and watched the same movie twice before she came out and offered her help. We were just finishing up but I decided she needed her picture taken too.

I still have some leaves to bag up (we ran out of bags) and I need to spray so that the weeds won't decide to show up again before I am completely done. I will then be ready for the sprinkers to be turned back on after their winter break and the grass to green up again, maybe get some flowers planted and a small garden. I wonder how my new guy is with the lawnmover?

Thanks kids you were great help and remember they are not available to hire out.
