Bill looking at his task for the day.

Bill is till for our new shade garden.

A dump truck load of mulch.

Darin towed the Koboto from Connecticut for Jason to use for a few years. What a good brother!

We get first use of the Koboto and this is much easier than the shovel I was using. Bill enjoyed using his old toy. I had bought the Koboto for Bill's 60th birthday. We gave it to Darin when we moved from Connecticut. I'm still amazed Darin towed it to Ohio. He is a great son.

This is my new shade garden and this is where all the mulch went. The garden will look better in a month after the plants start growing. And of course CT is in most pictures.

The Barnes Boys........Darin, Bill, Jason.

Isn't Darin handsome and I love his vacation beard.
