Little Helper

This is our lad, being a little gardener. The young woman is the daughter of mrs tsuken's gym trainer; now friend. She agreed to house-and-cat--sit for us while we're away in a little while. Recently she came over to see the house and what was needed for the fortnight; while there, she exclaimed over the garden, and asked would I mind if she did some weeding while she was staying.

... ummmmmm NO ACTUALLY NOT VERY MIND NOT AT ALL PLZ YES

From there we progressed to "you can come over any time; how much dollars please". And she's come the last two days, doing a wonderful job.

The kids also love her, as she was their swim instructor for a term. So when she asked the lad to put on gloves and come and help, he was right into it. It was really nice: he didn't even have to be cajoled. I ran after them with my camera, and shot this off before I got close enough to disturb them. I really rather like it.
