Rocks and Chain Saws

My folks and my brother Jonathan and sister-in-law Robyn came up for two days to help us build retaining walls in our front yard and trim trees. Monday morning we went to the Como Zoo before beginning the work.

Waiting for the zoo to open

The male lion was roaring fearsomely loud, and Atticus is still talking about it.

They really had to buy him a wax gorilla...

Still Atticus loves this animal

A wonderful butterfly exhibit with dozens of species flitting and landing on us...

Tree trimming

Digging

More tree trimming

Atticus likes the chain saw

Next morning: A walk to the park...

Wednesday morning

I'm so glad to see that Robin was smiling and walking around. Maybe you just didn't get the photos of her ralphing all over. But it's good that she's capable of smiling. Hooray for Robin!

Love the yard, as I've told you before. You are a great visionary of yards.
