Church Flower Garden

Hello,

 

Today, Leroy and I loaded up on tools to take to the church flower garden so we could extract some spend milkweed. We are not sure we like it in this place, because it keeps sending up shoots in random spots. As it turned out most of the diggers were not used, but a lot of pulling and pruning. In the meantime we learned that we could dead head the mums. That was quite a chore as there were many blossoms that were done and many plants to attend to. We know we did not get them all, but they look much better. That is quite satisfying. There are good feelings that go with helping out. In exchange we were treated to lunch. Seemed like a fair exchange to us or almost too much in our favor. After that we contributed a bit of help for the meals that are handed out at the door tomorrow night. Leroy wants a day off, but he was quite happy to do these things. It helps us to feel needed .

 

Then at home, Leroy got the inspiration to cut off that branch that was touching our internet cable. After moving the ladder three times he got the job done. I was happy to have that over. Leroy was a bit nervous on the ladder and I pick up on those feelings. I held the ladder, but you know that I could not have stopped any falling. At least I could hand him the loppers and steady the ladder.
