I'm imagining its more than "shade" the "shady" refers too, and I'm hooked at what these characters will find "happening."

It's so easy to visualize this scene in my head by your description. I also love the way you ended this paragraph. "And I'm waiting." This makes me want more, more, more!

The way you compare the building facades to obedient school children adds another layer to the feel I get when I imagine this town. And the splash of both color and scent provided by the flowers is a delightful play on the senses. I am looking forward to loads of writing and reading together this summer!Christy Rush-Levinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581876400990779210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-23152395294441337602012-06-05T18:31:16.140-06:002012-06-05T18:31:16.140-06:00Betsy, you are so dear.
