I've been wanting to do some yardwork in the back yard, and I ended up having some time today. One of the things I wanted to do was to trim some of the low-hanging branches from the various trees. Olathe requires that any yard waste be put in the biodegradable paper bags. In fact they're so vigilant about it that if they see yard waste, even grass clippings, in your trash when picking it up, they'll leave the whole bin by the curb without even emptying it. Filling the bags with grass clippings is easy, but long branches need to be cut up at least a little bit so they fit in the bags. So after trimming the branches, I piled them up and started cutting them into smaller pieces, and put them in a separate pile to later be put into the bags. Joshua was playing in the yard and became curious as to what I was doing. He walked over, saw the pile of the small branches, and thought it would be fun to put them in this big bag that he just happened to see. Conveniently, that's exactly what needed to be done, so he ended up being a pretty big help.
