Zach is a very creative, hard working fourteen year old who loves dogs. I called him up last night and he showed up at noon. Actually, he was ten minutes early. I like this kid.

Right now, he's hand cutting the backyard with a scythe. He saw our collection of scythes and fell in love, I told him to find the one he likes best and keep it! He's having a hell of a time, whistling and humming under his breath, as he slides the blade cleanly through our weeds. After he lays the tall weeds low, he's going to mow it. Weed whacking shall begin after he takes a break to go swim and cool off. I'm in heaven!

Zach's put me on his schedule for noon each Monday. I have a dozen or so yard projects in mind, Zach loves them all. Should make for an interesting partnership.

Update: What a entrepreneur. Zach came back from the pool with another Zach! I've now got two of them scything their way through the yard.

The Garden Gnome is still working around the neighborhood (he was mowing next door at 7:30 this morning). Your yardboys sound oh-so-much better.

Whistling with a scythe in hand, eh? Someone's been reading too much Terry Pratchett.

I was thinking I'd leave the Hogfather DVD on top of the tv to see if I get any reaction.
