mail and mulch

ok, so i drove by the lowes on my way home from work to buy mulch....as the roses i planted behind the b-ball hoop have never been mulched, and when i watered them by hand this morning (the hose does not reach) they were looking a bit weary with the heat......and so i bought 6 bags of dark mulch, as well as a few marked down gailardia and daisies......when i had unloaded those purchases, and fetched the mail/paper from the box on the road....i found that most of our mail was addressed to our across the street neighbor.....i had 2 choices...the first to walk to their box and slip the errant mail inside.....not the best option as their big picture window looks out on their box....and i would look potentially mischievous if i opted for that route..... and so i decided to march right up to their door and present them with their mail....the second good deed in 3 days....as my spouse called them on saturday to let them know that their water line had burst and that they were paying for water flowing across the street and into the neighbors drive....curious about the mail they claimed.....one piece was in the hand not extended.....to an address on the main road...and an unrecognizable name.......and my neighbor grabbed it and said....oh...this is the name that this guy always puts on my bills .....hmmmm.......fraley is the pseudonym, by the way just in case........ah well...and so i put down the mulch, and watered all of my deck and bedding flowers, and took a bath because i was filthy, and yet my spouse is not home.......to tell about our neighbor who could be doing business as someone else.....just too funny......
