Hard work

 A few months ago our tiny back lawn was ravaged by hungry raccoons looking for grubs. This week finally DH rented a tiller and youngest son came to work the sod through. When  grandson M came to help that made 3 generations out there at work. Now do you understand why I bake so often?
( I made cinnamon buns today )


We were given more rhubarb.

 


 I thought this was so cute. Hopefully no one is offended but isn't it just like a little child to  'misunderstand' what grown-ups say?  

Thanks for coming by.

  1. Isn't that from 'Family Circle"? I wasn't offended, I think it's cute. Three generations of menfolk working together, that's GREAT.

  5. We have dealt with raccoon destruction to our lawn. Now we use chemicals to kill grubs to rid the raccoons and crows of tasty treats. We don't like to use chemicals, but this was war.

  6. Sorry about your lawn. Raccoons can really do some damage. How nice that your kids are so close to help....probably because you make such great goodies to eat! :-) No offense taken for the cartoon. I think it's really cute.
    Blessings,

  8. We have a raccoon who visits our front porch every night and ravishes the bird feeders if I forget to bring them in. I'm afraid that I'm going to have to stop feeding the birds because the raccoons are such an annoyance. Also, a couple of towns over three raccoons have tested positive for rabies.

  12. We have possums and armadillos ... armadillos are the grubbers. They can really make a mess.
    Rhubarb pie is my favorite! Hot served with vanilla ice cream...goodness! lol

  13. It's so nice to have such willing help. Of course, the buns didn't hurt their willingness one bit, I bet.

  14. The raccoons come now also nearer and nearer in our regions in the Bavarian Forest. naughty children they are! :)
    You have a wonderful blessed family - so the raccoons are not dangerous for your little paradise.
    Now I know, why you bake a lot of fine cakes all the time :) :) :)
