Well, I believe it has officially begun. The trappings of a depression, or deep recession, are here. A little while ago a young man knocked on the door with an offer to clean out around the shrubs, put down some good mulch. “We’re having a real slow afternoon. I can give you a good price.”
There have been numerous trucks stopping by over the years with firewood, mulch, landscaping. This visit was different. A very bleak feel to it all. I was sorry to say, “Not today.”
