She smiled and waved to Mr. Davis. He must have been dreading the coming of the weather. She could help. She was sure he would appreciate the offer. She envisioned a beautiful, open backyard, with the new garden she'd always wanted.

She walked across the lawn to meet him, her steps light and eager.
