Teo in the garden

Whenever I have a big gardening task that is too heavy or technical for me to do on my own, I hire Teo. I have known him forever (he was a childhood friend of my stepson) and he lives nearby in Berkeley. This time I needed three rotting tree stumps dug out so I could relocate three heavy pots from the stumps to flat ground. He did it all in an hour, including helping me place the pots at the end, and we were both thrilled with the result.

The ghost wall on the right comes of having taken this photo through a window, as you might have surmised.
