Easter Yardwork

We've been trying for what seems like ages to have a Spring yard work day at Katherine & Lee's but the weather has been distinctly uncooperative. Easter weekend finally looked like the weather would hold, so I arranged for my co-clerk to cover Meeting for Business and we all went to Katherine's on Saturday for a weekend of Easter yard work. Katherine had an epic list of chores, and we at least made a dent – Owen burned a massive pile of two years worth of sticks, Nora pulled a bed of ivy, the kids both stained fences, I leveled bird baths, hung ladders, and dug up bamboo roots, and Elaine cleaned up 'piles' filling a nearly uncountable number of yard waste bags. When Sunday afternoon finally rolled around, we all cleaned up and went over to Mom's for a lovely Easter dinner.
