The leaves are falling. The sky is blue but the wind is cool and dry. My lips have chapped and Daisy's skin is itchy. It's fall, finally here, and the tomatoes still aren't dead. They aren't red, either, but salsa verde is in my future soon.
The kids were home today from school due to a water main break. Old city pipes. So they played in the sagging back yard while I worked on quilts. At 3:45, Zelda pulled up from school with her kids. I opened the window, the big 5 foot wide window with no screen, holding Daisy back with one arm because she's impulsive like that.
"Hey, you know what?" I called out to her. And I explained the water main thing. She understood.
The girls went over to her house.
