I think it's the prospect (he thinks, or is at least campaigning for) of having his 'own' vehicle (as well as his license soon) that has him so eager right now. Hopefully when he grows up, he'll be as helpful to us as your daughter is now!<br /><br />We do have a leaf blower, Sylvia, but it is underpowered for a thick, wet leaf load and the more powerful ones are pricey. Rick rented one last year to clear the driveway and may do that again this year.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-91820218345100756642018-11-02T08:48:00.082-07:002018-11-02T08:48:00.082-07:00I know you are a fan of non-mechanized work when y...I know you are a fan of non-mechanized work when you can get-er-done that way, but you might want to invest in a leaf blower. I'm amazed how quickly the yard guy blows all my many leaves into a pile he can load into the leaf bin and/or his truck. I bet Brian would have enough fun with a blower that he would be easy-ish to convince him to blow your arena. It's good for getting cobwebs, etc. down from high places in the barn. Hey, maybe you could use it to blow dry the sheep! Just kidding.sylkanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14857882513243312828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-31978525086185690222018-11-02T06:54:42.865-07:002018-11-02T06:54:42.865-07:00Nothing like gaining an opportunity to DRIVE to en...Nothing like gaining an opportunity to DRIVE to encourage a teenager to be helpful! ;o) We were living out farther and remote when our daughter was of Brian's age and she'd been driving the tractor, truck, etc. way before she legally got her license. When she was finally able to be out on the roads, driving around ye ol' homestead and being eager to help with (ugh) work, kinda went by the wayside in favor of driving much more related to the social scene! Can't blame the kids. It's a big step in their lives. I even almost remember way, way back that far!
