Why it takes me ages to do stuff

Published on by bushboy

I thought I would do a re-post for Lisa’s Bird Weekly Photo Challenge. This week is Domesticated Birds

Also for Ragtag Daily Prompt Friday: Again

I often go outside to do things around the house such as splitting firewood, or a bit of gardening, work on the car for instance. Sometimes I get asked “Where have you been? You’ve been gone for ages and lunch/dinner is ready.” Or “What has taken you so long? You were just going to split a wheelbarrow of firewood.”

Well, you see I have some helpers. Oh, so you have helpers I hear you say. So it shouldn’t take you very long to do stuff if there are helpers!!!

My helpers are always there whenever I go outside, ready to be with me to see what they can do to make my jobs a lot easier. Yes, everywhere I go they always tag along to make sure I do a good job.

This is how they help in the garden.

Just so you know I had put a small plant in the garden right there.

“Did you say something?” she said.

At the chopping block. I am always telling them to watch out as a block of wood flies off the block.

“Hey. Got any white ants or bugs up here?” If I stop to get another block to split, there is always a chook up there!

Now you would think that working on the car, compressor going, the sound of air tools and perhaps a bit of language from me, would be not the place to be wouldn’t you?

“I think I’ll settle in here for a while.”

I love my chooks and don’t really mind with their “help”……most of the time.
