IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD......






TODAY WAS A SPECIAL DAY HERE ON PLANET NORWOOD.

OUR NEIGHBOR LADY FROM ACROSS THE WAY WALKED OVER AND HANDED ME A BOWL OF FRESH GROWN PEACHES THAT SHE HAD GOTTEN FROM A FARMER'S CO-OP SEVERAL MILES AWAY.

TJ AND I JUST HAPPENED TO BE OUTSIDE AT THE TIME, DOING SOME WORK ON OUR FRONT LAWN, WHEN I LOOKED OVER AND SAW HER HEADING OUR WAY WITH A NEIGHBORLY GIFT OF PEACHY GOLD.

SHE INTRODUCED HERSELF TO ME, AND I TO HER. I THEN GRABBED HER HAND AND THANKED HER FOR HER KIND GESTURE.

WE STOOD AND TALKED FOR AWHILE ABOUT THE FARMER'S CO-OP AND HOW BLAZING HOT IT HAS BEEN HERE, ON OUR NECK OF THE PLANET.

SHE THEN TOLD ME THAT SHE WOULD LET ME "GET BACK TO WORK", SINCE NIGHTFALL WAS APPROACHING.

AS SHE WALKED AWAY AND BACK TO HER HOME......I FELT PROUD AND HAPPY THAT SOMEONE WOULD TAKE THE TIME AND CONSIDERATION TO INVITE US, SO KINDLY, TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AS I CONTINUED FINISHING UP MY YARDWORK......I GAZED UP AT THE CRESENT MOON, SET DEEP IN THE DARKNESS OF THE SKY ABOVE ME, AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF, "HOW LUCKY I AM TO BE ALIVE AND TO BE ABLE TO LIVE ON THIS PLANET."

"BEING ALIVE AND HAVING REALIZATION OF THIS IS SO COOL, EVEN BEING ABLE TO DO SOMETHING AS MENIAL AS THIS YARDWORK."

I FELT AND FEEL TRULY BLESSED.


OH YES.....TODAY WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.


THANKS AGAIN FOR THE PEACHES, BETTY.....BUT MAINLY FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP.

OH....AND I ALSO WANT TO GIVE THANKS TO MR FRED ROGERS........JUST BECAUSE.





UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.....GREETINGS AND SALUTATIONS FROM THE PLANET..............Lj
