on my walk this morning, i noticed how a lot of front porches have two chairs & a table where i bet people sit & talk & enjoy each other’s company. one house had two adult chairs & two little kid chairs. i wondered if they ever all four sit down at once or if someone is always up playing or chasing one around.

another house had one chair with a red & white work lunch box sitting on it, & work boots by the door. i bet that’s where they sit to put on their shoes for work, & to take them off when they get home.

everybody had flowers blooming. i could smell eggs & bacon every few minutes as i passed by houses. the sun was really, really bright this morning, but there was a breeze. when i checked my clock about halfway through my walk, it said 7:26.

that’s my birthday – july 26th. i’ll be 28 this year. i guess i’m just thankful for living to see this morning. ☀️
