Fun in the Sun!

We did some much-needed yard work today. Lawn mowing and weeding---which is when I yank out anything I don't recognize or anything I deem to be aesthetically unpleasing, some of which may actually be intentionally-planted flowers and shrubs...

In any case, Aaron was a big help. He threw rocks in that hideous flower planter thing that was left behind by the previous owners (see picture) and is now probably perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes (on the list of things to junk).

A snake did try to kill him though. The snakes in our backyard are deeply disturbing to me. It is the drawback of being backyard neighboors with wildlife. Leland would say that the snake today did NOT try to kill Aaron, that it did infact just lay in the grass feet away from Aaron until I threw a fit causing Leland to chuck it over the fence into the wildlands. But I know otherwise, as the creature had NO LEGS!
