For now we sit under the shady trees.

Here's where we sit under the shady trees. They made an opening, for now, in the new fence, so even Ruby learned how to walk across the knoll and find the gap. So we can go to the field and walk around, for now. Everything is for now. Soon the whole school will be razed and something else put in. The neighbors are mad. We're resigned. For now we sit under the shady trees for a while. Because we can. For now, it doesn't get dark til late, for now, there's still some grass and still some trees. For now's better than never will be or never was.
