As promised, Ed and the boys have been coming over to mow and edge our lawns. I'm not sure what method they use to divide up the work but this morning Tim was using the edger while Jake mowed. I was really quite impressed that the two boys could work with very little surevision. That allow Ed to do things like vacuum the lawnclippings on the front drivewayl
Both boys don't have much of an eye for grass that is out of control or weeds of any kinds. "I don't care," I'd say, "just cut the tall grass and pull out weeds." Ed and I would still need to play the pointing game.
Jake seemed to mow in random directions like he had been programmed that way -- just like the Roomba vacuum cleaner or a pool sweep. This undoubtedly made it more interesting for him but again Ed or I would have to point out areas that he had missed.
Even little Camdan got into the act by lifting the box that we use for tossing out recyclables. We wouldn't get nearly as many if we had to take out to the garbage cans every little can, box and bottle. There was no reason for Camdon to suddenly haul away the green box. Eventually, he brought it back and sat it Close to the origianal place.
