A good morning of Yard WORK

After a few days of temperatures in the 90's we had a morning in the seventies and overcast.
I don't know what time Sid went out to start cutting the limbs off the branches again but when I got up at 7 am it was still nice. I went out to the garden and cut the old corn stalks down.
While I was doing this Trudy came out and starting mowing the grass. Sid got the weed cutter going.
Sid made a mess on the sidewalk so Stevie and I got our brooms and started to sweep the walks. Baxter took our picture because he said you never see me in my pictures.
Here is Baxter getting ready to load another bunch of limbs into the dumpster.

Trudy and Stevie pulling the wheelbarrow into the dumpster. Yep everyone was working. It was still cool and overcast.




Baxter emptying the wheelbarrow. You can't believe how fast that wheelbarrow goes into the dumpster.
Of course here is Stevie looking cute as a bugs ear.

Grandpa had cut down 82 stumps around the yard and Stevie, Zane and Noah were going around picking them up and stacking them by the dumpster.

Noah would drive the lawn mower with the wagon attached and Zane and Stevie would fill the wagon with the stumps.

Sid and Noah filling this wagon full.

Sid got into the act of driving the lawn mower.
Trudy is shoveling the limbs into the wheelbarrow.
Still putting stumps into the wagon. Anyone need firewood? Its yours just come get it.
Make hay while the suns shines is a saying I used to hear all the time. Today we worked until the sun shined then it was toooo hot.
Just goes to show that many hands make light work and it can be fun. What's going to work, TEAM WORK as the wonder pets would sing.

Looks like you are all having fun ;) I can't say it looks like fun to me though ;)

It's good thing you have sooo many helping hands to make the work lite.
