a collection of lilies from the local highway median, where construction is scheduled to last until fall. yes, technically it was stealing, and the kids winced when i walked in the kitchen with bouquet of illicit flowers. but i saw them there, showy and bright and begging for an audience, among piles of gravel and sand, under the neglectful watch of a collection of excavators, backhoes, and bulldozers, and i couldn’t resist. i hope you don’t mind serving as their more deserving audience.
