Outside Chores

Today is a very nice sunshiny day and so that means that outside chores can be tackled. Bob wanted to get lights down off of the roof and shrubs trimmed. He assigned getting the lights down to Heather. I said, "are you mad? You want to send our most accident prone child up onto the roof?" I remember our first trip to Utah together; Heather tripped over the curb. It was a curb on the ground, why do we want to send her up onto the roof?

You can see that Heather doesn't mind one bit. What is it with kids and wanting to be on the roof? I remember that my dad was always hollering at us to get off of the roof.

Texting from the roof no less!

Here is Bob trimming back the butterfly bush. It looks really ugly right now but in the summer it was gorgeous!

Bob is really good about taking care of the yard. I am really glad because I would probably kill every growing thing. I guess that is a slight exaggeration, I did pretty good with the vegetable garden. I am just not very good about deadheading flowers and taking care of them.
