Schoenemans in the Field

This is another in the series of the Schoenemans in the field next to the billboards. This seems to be summer time, and Walt is home. He didn’t muster into the Marines until 1925, when he was 22, but he must have moved out on his own before that. Anyway, Violet is in one of these, and she didn’t meet Carl until 1923. Carl isn’t in any of these, so he must have been the photographer.

Is Violet pretending to play tennis with a hoe?
