To our surprise, Noel and Molly, along with Carl and Elliott (Johnathan is out of town) came over Saturday evening. The plan was to have supper together, however, they came prepared to work!
These pictures tell the story.
Noel brought his riding mower and took care of our considerable side yard, plus some of the outlying areas.
Carl used our lawnmower to mow our front yard.
And Molly uses the weed eater to trim and neaten up all the edges we've ignored!
She even tackled the cracks in the brick walkway, digging the grass out with her hands.
Elliott awaits his assignment of moving good grass to bare areas in the lawn.
Oops! The electric cord got weed wacked. Time out for repairs.
While waiting for the repairs to be completed, Molly finds a neglected flower (?) bed and gets to work while Elliott passes the time with his skate board.
And then Elliott finds the grass that can be reused elsewhere.
YIKES! A copper head was found in the yard! Thanks to Carl's brave spirit, he killed it! Thank you, Carl.
See his smashed head, mouth wide open?
Can you spot the headless copper head?
Thanks, Norwoods, for a job well done and for the bonus of ridding the yard of danger!
Everyone cooled off with a good supper together, some games and a little work on the jigsaw puzzle
that's always on the game table.
Wow! What an adventure!

"ELLIOTT! snake!go go get get shovel shovel and and papa papa and and tell tell lola lola to to bring bring camera, go go get get shovel shovel hurry hurry!" I'm not kidding it was bad.
