I was musing yesterday about not having any plans for the day and hoping that it might be another day with not very much happening. But, Jamie turned up with a new whiz-bang piece of gardening equipment and announced we were going to trim the various bushes and hedge-like plants that we have in the backyard. The implement looked like the sword that a swordfish might be very proud of. There was a handle and a place where the keen gardener could attach a Ryobi 18v battery. Jamie's mate, Chris, had acquired it with some gardening package he had bought and could see no use for it in his new yard.
I was happy enough to go along with the exercise and was very impressed with the efficiency of the operation. Marilyn involved herself in the excitement too so it was a family affair. There was a bit of cleaning up to do and that involved a lot of bending over so I couldn't stand up straight when I got out of bed this morning.
I know .. I know, you can pay people to do those sorts of jobs but there's a real shortage of gardeners for hire in our area. We do our best.
