She did indeed raise me right. Unfortunately, I never was very
good at minding her. :\ I do believe I mentioned to Margaret
that these could also be called moonflowers. <VBG>
What I did discover after this episode is that _all_ my
neighbors watch my garden in the morning. I nearly always go
out very early in a longish t-shirt, I nearly never can remember
I've got nothing else on and I never ever can resist deadheading
or pulling weeds. (I adore that snicking sound when you
pull the whole weed.) Since my knees are lousy, I have no
choice but to bend from the waist.
I had no idea I was providing daily entertainment for the
neighbors. Now I know why Rachel mentioned that I'd lost so
much weight a couple of months ago. I didn't think she'd seen
me since she returned from Florida. Heh.
Jaime, who is red-faced & grinning but will most likely forget
all about this embarassment by the time that first warm spring
morning comes around again.
