A. has been working on scything the tall weeds outside our property.
Sharpening the scythe properly is key.
And away he goes.
The scythe works better on tall weeds than the gasoline-powered trimmer does. It also has the advantage of being almost silent, so it's much better for spectators like Jack.
He's mostly doing the roadsides outside our fence. When he did the side of the road right outside our side gate, he thoughtfully left all the sunflowers for me.
A table bouquet, just steps away.
He also spent some time up on the roof, checking for damage and using a roof-coating material on some of the spots in the porch roof that leak.
Access to the roof via the apricot tree.
A. working on fixing the roof; Cubby working on killing a giant grasshopper.
A. actually did something similar for the MiL when he was at Blackrock a few weeks ago, but that is a much more terrifying roof to work on.
Historic, aesthetically pleasing, and dangerous.
Summer is definitely not the time for relaxing around here.
