Playing in the dirt!

During the nice weather weekend, Altair took Skyler out in the yard and showed him around.  They managed to stop near the edge of the garden where he took great interest in the dirt.

Yesterday, Skyler and I managed to get the lawn aerated and fertilized using the JD 425 tractor.  He rode on my leg the entire time and even helped to steer!   What would have taken me an hour to do myself, took most of the afternoon because he was so interested in helping.  It was great! 

(Sorry, I couldn't get any real good pictures, so you'll have to take my word for it. )
