hey piper

Me: Hey, Piper, guess what!

Piper: Wha'?

Me: This box that just arrived in the mail? It's the camera!! 

We've finally got the camera back from the Little Shop of Miracles!!!

Piper: um, has the camera been missing? 

Me: What?! It's been gone for weeks!

Weeks and weeks!

Piper: Oh.

Me: Haven't you noticed on our walks by the pond lately,

that I don't stop every few seconds to take a picture?

Piper: Of course I noticed. I was thrilled.

I thought I had finally trained you to Walk Properly.

Dear Readers, if you are still here...

I will be putting the revitalized camera through it's paces very soon,

and there will be lots of images and updates to come.

But I couldn't wait to share these first snaps,

taken minutes after I brought up the mail and opened the package.

Piper, who declined to accompany me to the letterbox

on the grounds of, "It's too h-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ot....",

 was at first mildly interested in the package.

(Treats often come in packages, you see.)

But you can judge the level of her excitement

when I brought out The Camera.

Me? I felt like jumping up and down in joy!

But Piper had a point:

it truly is Summer now, and it really is hot.
