With a few random observations from the day, it seems like a good time for Dear So and So notes…

Dear Unidentified Blooming Bush Near Our Driveway:
Thank you for giving us lovely pink blooms all summer long. Feel free to keep the show going until it snows.
Smiling every time I see you,
The Neighbor

Dear Obscure (regrettably American) Female Player in the US Open Women’s Draw:
If you win your match wearing black knee-high socks in front of a prime time national television audience, you probably just look a little quirky. But when you blow three matches points and go on to lose the match in said socks, you look a little bit like an idiot.
Wearing black doesn’t make you an artist,
Annoyed Observer

Dear Mother Nature:
The lightning show you are putting on this evening is breathtaking. *gasp*
Please don’t strike our house,
An Awed and Slightly Fearful Admirer

Dear Goofy Teenagers Sprawled on the Floor in Front of Our Television:
When you two start laughing hysterically, it’s so contagious. I don’t even have to know the joke and I’m giggling. Gosh, you’re fun.
Hoping you’re always best friends,
Mom
