Closing Down My Garden

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – October 22, 2004 – I had lunch with my friend Peter today, and when I got home I realized that it was time to shut off my water fountain, store away my garden ornaments and put the tarps over my outdoor furniture.

And Then There Were 12

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – October 17, 2004 – It took me five hours today to finish the pesky job of removing the glue residue from all the ocean stones.
