Will wonders never cease

I saw a teeshirt with the printed message, "You can't scare me, I have three daughters." It brought to mind my farther-in-law who has five daughters, and I can understand being married to one of them :-)

Anyway, the oldest sister, who isn't prone to compliments, called my wife yesterday and mentioned that she had picked up my book and was enjoying it. She is not the kind of reader that I would have thought would pick up my book in the first place, let alone enjoy it. She is more into manicured landscapes than the unruly natural garden I've fostered on my farmstead for the sake of birds and critters. But then, living in a different states, we seldom see each other, so what do I know.

In any case, I've laid off in-law jokes :-)
