A typical, yet not so typical, day in the yard

It's quite typical to find me working in the yard on any given evening or week-end (weather permitting - which means, not in the rain and not in the heat of summer) but to find Larry and Dad working outside at the same time is not so typical.



On this particular Saturday, I was transplanting the holly tree (the same one the bees visited this last Spring) plus planting some other things purchased during the last 4 weeks of rain. This is the first Saturday in at least a month where it hasn't rained!



As you know, Larry has been working really hard putting siding on our house. He's been spending every spare moment (and some found moments) installing the siding. This Saturday was no different. He's working on the tight areas under the roof line that is tucked up tight in a corner. This is the last step before beginning work on the fascia (the really hard part) due to the necessary ladder angles.

So, here we were, both working in the yard (though doing our own separate things) when Dad came to join us. He took it upon himself to "mow" the fallen leaves. I should have taken a "before" photo because the leaves were so thick it was almost impossible to see the grass underneath!
It felt rather strange to have all of us working outside at the same time so I thought photos were in order. It's just a "Slice of Life" kind of thing.
