Along
the lines of the kids helping out, N has stepped up and taken over
weed-whacking duties, and he says he enjoys it. A win-win situation
if there ever was one. I think he likes anything to do with machines,
especially ones that destroy things in their paths. The weed-whacker
does a great job of obliterating plants, and even I have to admit
that it's both satisfying and fun. Like everything, however, it's
just one more thing to deal with and when you have a long list of
jobs to do, even fun ones can become a burden. I'm glad he likes it,
and now our yard is being attended to.
It
also feeds into his engineer itch because he's interested in not only
how it works, but how to maintain it. He actually did the hard part
of re-loading the twine, which I find to be a chore. And he did it
with minimal intervention on my part, which is too cool for words.
He's pretty much self-sufficient in terms of using the machine,
leaving me more time to sit on the couch and take naps... not.
Until
the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to K. Carter for the pic.
