Down at the Feed & Seed

Given/received among the neighbors this weekend:

• 2 plates homemade beignets
• 2 bottles homemade beer
• 2 Fla-vor-ices
• 1 cigar (that was from Vern to Jeff even after Jeff accidentally aimed a sprinkler right into Vern's window)
• 1 escaped dog

Yes. It's awfully nice to have good neighbors. It's too bad that once the deep freeze hits, we go weeks without seeing or speaking to each other. Then again, maybe that's why we're extra-friendly in the summer. 'Cause we know that in the winter we can keep all our beignets to ourselves.
