The Walk, The Wind, The Day

Last night we walked all the way to Edgewater Drive running into neighbors and telling them about Lily. She's in heaven part two. Part one was here on Earth, I said. Robin ran over to us and gave us a package of tomatoes and cukes she grew and a card signed by her whole family and a plaque pendant about our beloved pets. We were so moved.

We ran into Doreen and walked with her telling her the story. We ran into Celeste and told her too and Janet. By the time we were heading home it was 8PM and dark but I didn't mind. I had a jar of raisins, almonds and sunflower seeds in my shoulder bag for times like this, and we picked up a few fallen apples and cut off the bruises and ate them, right off the tree! Delicious tart and refreshing.

When we got home we warmed a bite of chili, had fresh tomatoes on toast, and a slice of Boston Cream pie. Sammy-cat grabbed the pie-plate's edge and flipped it over onto the floor. We reassembled it, plucked out a few obvious hairs, and put it back in the fridge.

A gust of wind blew our fan off the windowsill onto the floor walking us at half past midnight. When I woke up the dawn light was illuminating the sky. It was 6:15. We had overslept two HOURS.
