Yardwork -- and a Concert!

Daughter Dawn and I spent time edging and weeding in the back yard today. She also helped Todd finish the new patio and the raised herb bed. That meant lots of wheel barrow loads of mulch and bricks. Todd also mixed up a sprayer full of weed-killer so that I could spray out the weeds along side the road and spot spray some of the weeds in the lawn. I was sure that it would start raining and soon as I finished spraying and wash it all off, but I think today was the first day we didn't get a single shower!


When Grandson Micah got home from school, he reminded everyone that he had a concert tonight! Todd vaguely remembered Micah waking him up one morning and telling him about it coming up and Dawn was sure she had never heard it of it at all! So everyone scrambled to clean up, shower and change clothes, grumbling the whole time...


BUT, it turned out to be delightful! It was the 2nd and 3rd graders from 91 School -- which is right across the street from where Auntie Violet is parked. They sang seven pretty lively songs and in between several of the students read the poems they had written about summer. Their new music teacher was having as much fun as the kids.


This is Micah (in the grey shirt) singing his heart out --

The whole thing only lasted for an hour -- and all agreed it was a delight!
