Duane

Last fall, Jude and I were fortunate to be introduced to Duane Pierce by my cousin, Alice Walker.  Duane had done some work for Alice, or some of Alice's friends, and he agreed to help us out with some yard work.  He did a great job for us and, as a result, has been working with us ever since. 

This spring, Duane laid some sod in our back yard, which had been a disaster.  Now, we've got grass, real grass, and we spend a lot of time with J.P., playing in the back yard.  J.P. absolutely loves Duane and whenever he comes to the house to work, he can't get enough of him. 

Here's a great photo, one I love, of J.P. watching Duane mow the grass in our back yard.

What's really cute is that J.P. pushed a foot stool up to the window, which he's standing on in this photo, so he could look out the window and watch Duane.
