Hedge trimmimg

It stopped raining today. So the keeper decided to trim the hedge with the neighbors' electric trimmers. Well, she learned that you need a lot of bodily strength to hang on to those trimmers and to keep lifting them high in the air to attack the top. she worked for about 4 hours, and pooped out. She got the side facing the house trimmed, but she looked up to see that the top of the hedge had a rise in the middle, and that she had been a little over zealous with the arch over the gate. She cleaned it all up, and now is getting ready to call the professionals to finish the work. Well, she did pretty well for a novice. It meant that we got to spend the afternoon outside and we lounged out on the deck in the sun till the wind picked up.

We sat on the couch with her inside as she read Latin American ecclesiology in Spanish. She fed us chicken tonight, too. A good day for us all!
