Grounds Keeping With a Purpose

I employed these tools to get the yard in shape for a cook out:

The blower and 100' power cord
The lawn sweeper
The lawn mower, with screw driver, liquid wrench and a piece of paper for adjusting
Garden spade
Steel rake
Shrub rake
Wheel barrow
String line set up
Fine, med, coarse screens
Hand truck
Steel pan
Recycle bin
Water hose w/ spray nozzle and brush
Gloves
Spike sandals

I enjoy having good tools and being able to get them out to do work. The work of this day was to prepare for a cookout honoring the visit of Becky's son's girlfriend. I must say I produced awesome Bar-b-que chicken, Cajun sausage, a pork roast and lamb chops from my grill that evening.
