Helpers

Spent 3 hours in the garden this morning.  Needed to move a couple of maple trees, and plant a rose of sharon.  Then of course weeding and some pruning.    Since it is supposed to be nice for a couple of weeks, I sprayed everything with deer repellent.   Plan on going back out this afternoon for a few more hours of work.  I'm not out in the garden by myself.  I have helpers.

Max is my number 1 helper - he chases snakes, eats grass and will lick the dirt off my face.  What he does best is sit in the shade and supervise me.    Ray will get out and mow the lawn.
Here's some shots of my helpers.

Then there's the vole. or mole.  He digs up dirt for me.  Leaves big piles of dirt everywhere.  I go around and scoop it up for my dirt pile.  I don't even have to ask him to do this....he volunteers!
