Return Mail

Dear Universe,

If that was you...thanks, I guess.

...

Glancing at the mail today, I noticed a small envelope addressed "to the resident" of our address.  I asked Malcolm if he knew what it was--he didn't.  So while I opened a bill, he opened the little envelope and card.

Out fell $40.

The card went on to explain that "like last year" this "independent group of environmentalists" was rewarding us for taking "exceptional care of the shrubs and trees" on our property.  I still can't believe this.  I'm still expecting someone to pop out and ask for their money back, or to laugh in my face and ask me if I really believed someone out there was giving away money for free.

But so far, nothing.  Keep you posted.
