Spring Fever Hits the Slackers

Friday morning was so warm and sunny, I looked forward to a wonderful day. It exceeded all expectations!
Hubby went downstairs and got us a cup of coffee and when he came back up he said that #1 Son was in the backyard.
I asked what #1 was doing and he said he had a hoe in his hand was cleaning the sod overgrowth off of the brick path! What?
I asked him if he said anything to him and hubby replied 'Good Morning'. He said he didn't want to rock the boat.
I agreed and relished in the thought of someone else actually working in the back yard.

A few minutes later I was dressed and went down stairs and #1 announced that he was going to build a new arbor for the wisteria vine that has eaten the shed and demolished the old arbor.
I quickly replied, "Okay, do you need me to do anything"? He said he didn't he just wanted to hang out and play in the dirt.
I think he must have fallen and bumped his head!
Soon after his sister woke up and joined him in building the arbor. They trimmed limbs from the cedar tree to use in their construction of the arbor, and it has turned out to be quite sturdy.
This is their first attempt at cooperatively building anything, and while it is certainly not perfect, I am so happy with the thought and the attempt.
I love the crude twig furniture style, and I think that the arbor will look beautiful when everything starts greening and the wisteria comes into bloom.
