Yesterday was the first nice day we've had that was warm enough to work in the yard. Trevor did a great job on the mowing (we're on 1/3 acre, and it's hilly - not the best to mow!). Lee spent a good couple of hours cutting back the overgrown blackberry vines. I worked in the little bits of the yard I've actually tried to tame - my rose bush planter, clearing around the lilac bush & also some gladiolas. You need decent gloves for gardening around here - the blackberries hid in the weeds & you can grab a hunk of crabgrass & have thorns go right through the glove - ouch!
I had also asked Trevor to mow the grass really short in a trail for Connor. Now that he has his bike, he likes to try to ride around the backyard. As he likes to do the same path over & over, he'll create a nice little trail for himself pretty soon.
Connor kept himself busy digging "the cave." I'm not sure why he wants a cave, but he's using a pickaxe, a big shovel and a camp shovel to do it. He's got the wheelbarrow that he's filling as he goes, and it seems the cave is currently being dug straight down in a slope, so it's really more of a hole. 
That's fine. I can see where he is & what he's doing, vs. digging in the poison oak in the wilder back part of the yard :)
We'll see what he does today with it...

So is it just me, or does Trevor have more meat on his bones? He looks like he has been working out!
Well, I guess he has been working out-side!
Looks like you guys get a lot done together!
Trevor took a weight-training class last term. He rides his bike everywhere that's a bit of a distance, and of course, he's our lawn guy.
So - yeah. He has a little muscle on him now. :)
