I HAVE TO DO WHAT?

I am sure Janie thought I was joking about the yard. Or, at least she thought I would do all the real work. Boy howdy did she get a surprise. You see, Janie needed a ride home today from work. Her scooter is in the shop. So I told her I would take her home and we would start cutting the grass at the cabin. Heck, there's no reason to make a trip out there if you can not make something happen. Around 5:30 pm Karmin and I picked her up with the weed eater and the push mower in tow. 

When we got to the cabin I gave the girls there instructions. They needed to pick up the sticks and rocks while I started to weed eat. They did a pretty good job. I asked Janie if she knew how to use the weed eater. She thought about it and decided she did not know how to operate it. No problem. I told her she could use the mower and start on the yard in front of the cabin. She started to mow and I noticed she kept asked under her breath when were we going to leave. I just kept right on weed eating.  We did get about 1/8th of the place mowed. I told Janie she had to finish a certain amount by the time I get back out there. I wonder how that's gonna fly? Probably will never get off the ground. 

Karmin watered the two trees that we planted yesterday. They are going to be very pretty as they grow. We planted one red dogwood tree and one dwarf red maple tree.  Yep, that's right, I dug the holes and the girls helped put them in the ground. They have been fertilized and looked pretty good today. 

God is so good. Every time we have done work in the driveway or the yard a breeze has blown at just the right time. Just as I would start to think that I might give up for the day God would just send at soft reminder of His presence. Once in a while my hair would get in my face and I could not see what I was doing. I realized God did that so I could not see what creepy crawly thing was running away from where my foot was just at.
