Day before yesterday, Laura and Charlotte returned from North Carolina.  It was snowing on the day 6 weeks ago when they left Manassas, so Laura was amazed at all the green when they returned:  green leaves, green grass....especially green grass.....especially long green grass.....especially in their yard.  So this morning Peter and I stopped by to help laura with some of the lawn jobs, raking, weeding and mowing.





Here i am helping Laura mow the front yard:

"Keep up the good work, Laura"

She attacked the yard with a super hero vengeance:

Whilst wearing a lovely long dress:

and pushing a well designed lawn mower with at least one horse power:

well, not exactly like any of those pictures.....more like this:

Charlotte wants to try to mow next time:

But Mommy's got this job under control!

"now lets finish up the raking, dear"
