"gardeners working"

we talked to him the night before about the gardeners coming in the morning. we told him it might be noisy and you might hear people walking by your window, but don't be scared. if it wakes you up, try to go back to sleep or wait for us to come get you. they didn't come as early as they said they would, but nj was good and didn't get scared or cry. it was like any other morning. he was fascinated with what was going on as he is with the pool man. he even said to dotty, "come here, dotty! come see gardeners!" he sometimes calls gardeners neighbors instead. I think because usually when we see or hear someone moving through our fence we tell him it's the neighbor. a lot of times it's the neighbor's gardener. I wish I had taken some before pictures for the before and after. life got in the way and everything got overgrown! now I'll feel better about walking the neighborhood... some of our weeds were as tall as me!
