When you live in a small town things are different Im sitting here early waiting on my colleague's husband (retired prison warden) to bring his tractor and box blade to help me fix and level my yard after last weeks explosion of putting in large leech beds to make my house waste flow. HE insists I do not pay him. I guess cause Im his grandsons PE coach and he loves PE., I try to help the guy build our fall festival each year. He does most of it. Breakfast was two of the many eggs another colleague gave me last week taking here tutoring class one afternoon. Two small green bantam chicken eggs. With that my glass of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice. Some guy had trimmed his grapefruit tree and left dozens of them on a table at our dump for anyone to use (really transfer station of bins for us to throw stuff in). Excellent juice, Wish I knew the guy. My other citrus guy (like a brother to our family) who works at a bank in Alachua gets free BB tix and so gave me some when I went to get citrus from him for my dad weeks ago. Texted me yesterday to come get more oranges this weekend. The old saying "I am blessed" certainly applies to me.
