With daytime temperatures in the seventies, there are
flowers blooming again. At the end of
November, violets, azalea, and even
spirea are blooming along side the nandina berries. It is the nature of winter in Alabama.
There are children out playing in the neighborhood again, as
well. Even Tex, his shadow long absent
from our doorstep because of a late-summer banning by his grandfather from our
neighborhood (I believe the charge was insubordination) has been back, knocking
for Flavor Ice and attention.
I've just finished giving an impromptu presentation to Tex and
the McCall boys on paleontology and archaeology in Alabama, complete with
artifacts, pictures and demonstrations. There
were histrionics and lots of “How much will you sell that to me for?”

I know! The three boys were talking all at once most of the time. It was hard to reign them in. If you had been here, you could've wrangled.
You enlarge their world.
