Evening in the Old Northeast

6:30 in the evening and sitting in the shade of our ST. Pete house…geccos scurry across the brick walks and amongst the dead leaf litter under the shrubs.  A blue jay shreeks at some invader (probably one of the pesky teenage squirrels) .  The jacaranda tree blooms bright purple.  And the neighbor’s cat is trying to decide whether to cross the street to investigate this new person sitting on her steps.  Remodel/expansion of the house has stalled (a permit thing) so instead of watching the bulldozers tearing down the old garage, I am  sitting next to it pondering where we’ll go eat for dinner.  Tomorrow?  Tub, sink, and fixture shopping…must make progress someplace even in teeny steps.
