The green ash tree on Green Street that normally bursts into glorious golden foliage about this time disappointed this year. The leaves turned quickly and became little brown curls that littered cars and sidewalks. And, of course, this being street cleaning week, one driver failed to move his vehicle which left us with a mess to clean up. I swear, if the city wants money, these failure-to-move people should be fined fifty dollars or so; that should be a cure, though I did see that the floor of this particular vehicle was already littered with parking tickets presumably unpaid . . . placed several more orders for merchandise today--the shop will be bulging if all this stuff ever arrives. Our anniversary sale begins in just a few days and we still haven't mailed our postcards yet. Please spread the word and come yourself to save . . .
