The weather around these parts has been horrifying terrible but we finally have seen some nice days. Last Saturday we finally got around to doing some yard work. Normal Maple Valley Winters are filled with notorious strong winds but this Spring we have had lots and lots of wind too. Wind around here = PINE CONES.
As Mitch was trying to mow the grass he decided that he needed help with the pine cones. He told the kids that he would pay them 10 cents a pine cone that they picked up. Once they got started Mitch realized his MAJOR mistake in judging exactly how many pine cones we had on the ground. He then reduced the fee to 5 cents a pine cone. That still was not within our budget because the kids picked up nearly 1,700 pine cones! In the end we opted to pay them a small fee and take them out for milkshakes. I think Mitch and I learned our lesson.
A random side note... We got these lights from Costco for the yard. Really good deal and really cute at night.
