Neighborhood Gossip, Sort Of

So, my dad came over on Wednesday to help me fix the door closer (that's what it's called on the packaging, a "Door Closer", so I guess that's right. The arm thingy that keeps the door from slamming to shut and that you can set to stay open. You know) and my little greenhouse that's been more or less a shambles since it blew off the porch. It took all day, but only two trips to the hardware store and we got both things done and even anchored the greenhouse to a wall so it won't go flying again. So yay for that.

At one point while we were working, my neighbor's dog came trotting over and when she came to retrieve him she said (after the usual pleasantries) that she had gotten a ticket ( stuff that's probably not that interesting but I need to tell someone )

Anyway, car not towed, door and greenhouse fixed, I need to mow the yard, etc. but instead I'm cleaning the kitchen (which I also need to do, and I've got over a week to whip the front yard into passable shape) and making soup. Because that's what I feel like doing today
