Working Boy

I have decided Levi needs to work a little harder!  OK, Not really.  He is only 6, but he wants to work along side me when I have to do yard work.  So we went and bought a small size leaf blower.  It runs off a Lithium Ion battery so it is very lightweight.  The blower lasts about 15 minutes, which is about 3 minutes longer than Levi's ability to blow leaves!  Now when I go out and mow (which will happen this morning) he can help as well.  The tiles around the house get slick with mould in the summer wet season and this is accentuated by the rotting leaves, so I am attempting this year to stay ahead of it all.  I am trying to get rid of the leaves and that involves blowing!  There was another blower here bought by my Dad before he died.  Dad never in his life ever bought a small anything.  If he bought a tool, it was always the strongest.  If he bought a power tool, it was always the most powerful and by extension the heaviest.  Now that works well for grown men but if I want Levi (and Jo) to use the blower, I need something that doesn't require an act of God to start and that they can lift for longer than a minute.  I found it!  Let's see if they use it.

I have had trouble uploading photos to this blog in the last few days, but it seems that has resolved itself without my having to find out the problem.  That is lucky because I haven't the first idea of how to try to repair or trouble shoot.
