This summer Alex and Fritz made a sweat promise for our neighbor. They are painting his pipe and rail fences. After sanding rust and painting for 6 hours a day in the Texas heat, my boys aged before my eyes and looked dirtier and older than I ever imagined they could.
This is their third week painting fences and I'm proud of their work ethic. They wear the grime with distinction.
Keeping each other laughing while working has been a motivator against boredom. Brotherly ribbing increases productivity in the fence painting business.
Ben has encouraged them to make business cards, but I think they may never want to paint again after the summer of '19.
When Jane walked beside Fritz, it was such a stark comparison between clean and dirty.
Alex came home tired, but then he heard a ruckus in the chicken coop. He donned some leather gloves in expectation of another snake.
His snake catching skills are becoming legendary.
Chuffy found the snake quite irresistible.
Tommy was curious about Ben's oil change and plopped down beside him.
