Dig It!

My hubby likes to garden/landscape. He makes things look beautiful. Here is an example of a job half done. It gives a great idea of what things look like before Jon gets ahold of them and then after.





He helped out a friend who lives on the campus the other day with mulch. They needed some for a play area under a tree and the tree service had just come through and left behind piles and piles of wood chips throughout the woods that run along the road that winds into the back part of the campus. (big breath) So...Jon ran up to the facility building and grabbed a toy. Wow! How we wish we had one of these at our house--well, maybe a mini version.

Popcorn had a fun ride with his daddy.

This year, Jon has really outdone himself. He has redone the entire front and back walks of the house in addition to planting a garden. He has transplanted, spread mulch, planted bushes, uprooted bushes, built stone walls, and in general, has thrown dirt around all day long (and often into the night--even with a flashlight) until everything is green and beautiful. He comes in filthy every night, but happy. He loves the work. I think he would do well in landscaping if he wanted a different career.


Sinatra adores anything on wheels, but goes nuts over big things on wheels. He loved the front loader.
