I used to love to garden.
I used to have lots of flowers.
I used to have time to garden and have lots of flowers.
Not so much anymore.
The front of our house is overrun with weeds.
I don't often exaggerate, so rest assured that is a very true statement.
About a week ago, I spent an hour or so weeding and that hour barely put a dent in the problem.
I offered C money today to weed.
I am pretty sure this one project could easily take him most of the week.
And yes, pretty much everything you see to his left are weeds... and the small tree you see is really a small tree.
Those of you who know our house, he is weeding directly in front of the FIRST door... so he has a loooooong way to go.
(but everything to his right is looking sweet... what little there is to his right)
awesome. I can't wait till my kids are old enough to do those types of tasks. Has he had the "leaves of 3, let them be" lesson yet? Last time I was weeding....I got poison ivy all over my arm!

Good for you for hiring him! It's amazing what kids will do for some money! I can't even recall all the hours I spent doing chores like that in the summer for my parents just to make a little money! hahaha!
