My wish

After many years of nasty people living on our short street, we now have a lovely mix of ages and no criminals living here. We appreciate our good fortune. As our neighbors' kids are getting older they spend time playing ball on the street. Ours used to.
I wish we could block of a section of the street and have the dogs run with the kids. The kids would love it.
The dogs would be ecstatic. The energetic sheep dog from across the street would finally have a purpose. Our girls could lick everyone. Azi could get underfoot, tripping kids and beasts alike.
In the end everyone would be smiling, and sleeping well that night.
That's my wish.

Wishes

The saying goes: Be careful what you wish for, because you're going to get it.

So, I wished not to serve on a jury today, we were dismissed in short order.
So, I moaned about wanting to get out in the yard. Well, I forgot to wish for my most favorite planting weather and it's windy and cool. Well, I can't let granted wishes go to waste, so I'm going out. Soon. After I eat lunch.
The lily grew last year, the seventy pound puppy chewed up the pot and and tubers, so there'll be none this year.
