I have a little dear neighbor who is 92, as he is happy to tell me everytime I see him. He doesn't realize, I think, how his voice carries when he feeds the squirrels day old bread, or shouts hello across the road, or just says anything in general. We usually get a chuckle to hear him cooing at the squirrels, "C'mon babies, c'mon!" He always introduces himself to visitors, visits yard sales, and is pretty precious in general. But this morning I heard him top himself, when he hopped out onto his front porch and exclaimed to the sky, "Thank you, Rain! You'll make the grass grow again!"
I'm so glad I opened the front door and heard him.

Does he live alone? Sadly, it made me think of my grandfather who was super friendly and made friends with some squirrels who would come right up to him to get fed. He often told me how he felt alone a lot because my grandmother wasn't around anymore and my mom and his other daughters couldn't visit every day. It's nice that you make some chitchat with him, i'm sure it makes him really happy.
That sounds about right! He is a sweetheart, we love visiting with him...
