Meet Our Neighbor, Noah.

One of the real delights of springtime is having the windows open again so you can spy and eavesdrop on your eccentric neighbors. The man who lives in the lawn adjacent to ours (the site of this year's Blackbird Convention, you'll remember) provides endless treats when the warm weather starts.


We call him Noah because he keeps a large boat in his backyard, even though we live in a decidedly landlocked part of the country.

 


From time to time, Noah hauls his boat from one side of the yard to the other. This weekend was pretty busy.




Later, while digging his garden patch with some loud, gas-powered machinery, Noah even began praying quite loudly when something caused the machine to stop working.
 

What a delight neighbors are!
