Summer brings to us many things….cookouts, days filled with swimming, fresh garden vegetables, bugs, frogs, and weekly yard work.

Some of that is fun.  Some of that brings with it a little dread.  (Specifically the frog part…lots of dread.  But who knows, that may just be me.)

The weekly yard work is another one of those tasks that isn’t very much fun.  It is a hot sweaty job, that none of us really enjoys.

HOWEVER…

Eight and a half years ago, we began fashioning a wonderful aid to yard work.  We molded, guided, taught and raised our little man to become someone who could help his Daddy out in the yard.

Yesterday, our efforts paid off.

We put that boy to work!

Ok, so it was hard work. It was hot.  He was tired.

But he was pretty proud too, to be able to help out with the yard work.

And Dad was proud of his man, and loved getting to share the responsibility.

In fact, he liked that shared responsibility so much, that he has begun the training of another future yard aid.  This one should reach his helping prime in another 6 years or so.

Until then, this guy will be the primary helper.

It is hard work, but I think he is up to the task.
