Yesterday Sean helped trim his Great Uncle Don’s bushes and worked around the yard, so something good came about today-he got a call from the Delaware*State Park Dept! On Friday he has an ‘interview’ in Delaware City for one of two positions in researching invasive species in the the area. The man that called said some funding came in, so positions were opened up. The research area would be the White*Clay Creek State Park in nearby Newark, DE. Crossing fingers for Sean as he’s been looking for 3.5 months and found this on his own. One thing could lead to another. Of course he said he’d love to do research in the beach areas. ; )
I also worked my pants off at my uncle’s yesterday. The first thing I did was get my trusty rake and pull a 40 foot vine (at least) growing up and around his bedroom window. My next big job was a wild grape vine attacking a bush near the end of his driveway. I was praying it wasn’t poison ivy or anything-so far, so good. Many of the properties in his area are on steep hills and Sean had to do the dragging up to the back yard. I did that a few years ago and it was too much for my knees. The only bad thing that happened was Sean cut through the cord with the hedge trimmer! So we are glad to have helped Uncle. I saw the garage door open and out he came with his walker and watched us and ‘ordered’ us around a bit-lol-he wanted Sean to throw the debris over a fence. He made a big pile. We are hoping we’ll be allowed to go and burn it sometime in the fall. He has oodles of tree branches around too.
Trying to muster the strength to go food shopping and mail off Sherry’s package. : )
