The Thread of Neighborliness

Once my neighbors, Florence and Jere opened their house to me as family might: without judgment or closed doors. Even their dogs, Princess (now deceased) and Lady (now grizzled) stopped barking when I came to the door.

Fifty miles now separate our households, but a visit there overnight feels as natural, our friendship as stitched as the intertwining threads of blossom shimmering pink and purple in mid-summer.
