We call on JJ for a bit of help with the garden and grounds every now and then. This week we brought him over to help spread new mulch and to cut down the overgrown easement. Sue and I had already laid a few bags of mulch, and while we could have done more, we thought it prudent to dragoon a young body.
Sue took various photos and applied her usual compositing.
I posed this one with the inukshuk in the front and the daylilies behind. The daylilies were about his height although they look less tall in the background.
All done.
I use dragoon in the second verbal sense although I don't really require force or violence to get him to comply. 😁

That’s the first inukshuk ive ever seen. Very creative! Funny how decorative JJ’s shirt became from photos of him at work!
ReplyDeleteDragooning the inukshuk. Very wise. Now that I am old I have great envy of those with young bodies to dragoon. I see that chipmunk.
ReplyDeleteHe's gotten pretty tall! I'm looking at his white shoes thinking he probably wasn't planning to get too dirty. Lovely garden! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteThus far, I have no bodies I could dragoon. If the time comes when I need a young body but nobody to dragoon, I will have to go back to renting again so that the outside becomes someone else's problem.
ReplyDeleteOh, to have a young body like that near enough to call for help! You're a lucky man.
ReplyDeleteWell done, that young man. It's hard to realise where our own youth and strength went, sometimes.
