A Longer Neck

There's a part of me that is always hoping I will grow a longer neck. I know it sounds silly but when I look in the mirror this is what I am hoping for. I check. Is it here yet? I recently discovered that when I braid my hair in two braids that hang down near my ears, I am given the vertical illusion of a longer neck. The braids keep me cool all day too and with my wide brimmed straw hat I look like a farm girl. I'm the farmer that picks up litter. Our City is looking so good I go crazy when I see a piece of trash, I have to pick it up. It's an addictive habit. Even my dog is stopping at trash spots so we can pick up cups and cans.
