D.O.P.-T. (yesterday)

At the little house where the shade-tree mechanic activity has been happening, I came upon two guys being arrested with an impressive show of police numbers, a week or two ago. Now the house has sprouted a police no trespassing sign against the tenants, and its contents appear to have been emptied into the part of the driveway inside the gate. This morning the old pickup with smashed back window had been removed and the gate pulled most of the way closed. A little grey and white cat sat in front of it. I hope kitty doesn't go with the mattresses and the rest of the detritus.

D.O.P.-T.

Cherry and other blossoms now dotted up and down the streets, and other trees starting to bud out. But the rain has left smooshed pink blossoms under the magnolias.
