DAY 37: MY NEIGHBOR, MISS JULIE
Miss Julie's back yard adjoins mine at a corner point in back of both our homes. My house fronts West Main; hers, West Mulberry.
I've lived at my current location since the spring of 1988 and can say that Miss Julie always kept her yard in immaculate condition. So one day when I caught her out doing her chores, I was very surprised at her meager tools! This rake had seen better days - but Miss Julie wasn't complaining at all. She got the job done.
Miss Julie always had the most beautiful geraniums of anyone in the whole town - at least I thought so. Here she is on her front porch with some of her geraniums and other healthy plants.
She isn't living at home any more, but I see her children and other relatives across the way working on her yard and house sometimes. I think that's great.
But the days of seeing Miss Julie out doing her own chores and raising such beautiful flowers are probably just a memory now for me now.
