Rain or shine, it's tree cuttin time.


We cut back my mulberry tree in my front yard last sunday. My grandpa, who just turned 72, helped us out. He is a retired mason (the family trade), and still mows his own lawn and maintains his gardens and fruit trees. He is one tough dude. His workers would always complain and say, "Ahh... Rome wasn't built in a day!"
And he would respond, "That's because I wasn't there!"
My grandpa is known for always having a quick witted line and you really never know what he is going to say next.

So here are some shots from a hard days work. It has been three days later and my back still hurts.









He saw me steal a shot of him and started to say, "Joey, nice of you to walk around with a camera and call it work..."

I love the pic of your your grandpa's elbow and the black and white beneath it. He seems quite amused with you!
