Yardwork

A month or so ago, I was raking up apples that had fallen from our two backyard apple trees, and Cordelia wanted to be outside with daddy. She's a great help around the yard, and has been all summer. Earlier in the season when I was uprooting dandelions, she helped by taking freshly popped weeds and depositing them in the pile of weeds next to the green-waste bin (which had strangely gotten further and further away as I picked and dug and pulled). So, since I knew how much she loved to help, and since we have a rake that is just-her-size (it's for raking small areas, like flower beds, I believe), I got it out for her and she went to work.
