We had a very grumpy pizza delivery guy today who looked way too old to be dealing with the public in that capacity. At the moment he arrived the front door was open and I was in the kitchen feeding Reaves in her high chair. When I finally got to the door he was rude and bitchy. He got what was left out of the 20 but it wasn't much, just saying. I could hear him muttering " order a pizza and then not home when it gets there...." Excuse me sir? Did I not tell you I was feeding the baby and my daughter would be right back with the $$. He threatened to take it back to the store and start all over. We should have ordered from The Blacksmith like we had planned. This guy was a piece of work. Seriously.
Yesterday afternoon I rode down to the cabin and crawled through the windows to wander around inside. It's still surreal to me seeing it empty like that. What I thought was a deck off of the back porch was expanded to make it a HUGE back porch /deck. On the way back I stopped to explore the flowers at our late mayor's house and pulled up a few bachelor's buttons to transplant. Since that house will be coming down, I'll be back later in the year to scoop up those peonies! The one I transplanted from Daddy is just about to bust open with crimson. There are also several white ones in the pine grove. I will never forget the day that he and I lit fire to those inches of pine needles and leaves and let 'er rip. After that I could find what was there. Bless my heart I used to pick up the limbs out of that field next to it when it was a horse pasture. Anything to be outside.
Y'all soak up the sun while you can. I got so much enjoyment from seeing Reaves exploring outdoors. One of these days, we'll make a country girl out of her. Hide and watch.
