Finally, dad got out the hedge clippers. Dad was sculpting the bushes into nice shapes,
while Karl and he both got out rakes. There were a few leaves here and there, and then there
were spots where the grass grew faster, so grass clippings piled up. That didn’t count the
hedge clippings. They gathered all of this stuff into four or five piles, one per section of the
yard, and then got a wheelbarrow. Dad was done then, so he pushed the wheelbarrow and
helped them dump the yard waste in the compost pile at the back of the yard by the property
line.
