“Should I warn the neighbors?”

We are lighting a smoke bomb today. I’m good at this. If the wind is favorable, the smoke will travel to the top of the old, oak tree that towers over my driveway. No one called the fire department in a panic last time. The man across the street lingered in his own driveway sweeping leaves that didn’t exist just so he could watch, but we avoided the sirens and red and blue lights.

      1. I think mine got used to me doing yoga in my bathing suit about 10 years ago, and the obnoxious belting out of broadway songs they tolerate too! I just wish i’d get a heads up on the pesticide spray and we’d be good to go
