Yesterday, on one of those sullen pale gray days with flat light, Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and I set off on our errands. Kibble, laundry, balaton cherries in cider. Important stuff. The parking lot was busy at the IGA, where the flag whipped in the wind, making that clanking sound. It billowed out full, halfway […]
