Rules, Rules, Rules

In my four years of life, today was the most beautiful weather ever.  It's still feels amazing and I've so enjoyed being outside most of the morning and afternoon.  Paul took us on the trail for our Sunday walk.  He told Linda that I sprinted the first 6 houses when he let me outside.  He had to run to keep up with me!!  When Linda got home, she quickly put on her lawn mowing outfit and got busy on the yard.  This time, mowing and bagging the front and back took 7 Body Combat songs, faster than the last time.  Then she planted 9 giant Mum flowers in the front flowerbeds. Sweaty and dirty, she needed to shower.  No joke, as soon as she was about to get in the tub, the front door bell rang!  Ha!! This is happening almost everyday.  She dressed quickly and went to the door.  It was the President of our home owners association coming to answer Linda's 3 emails in person.  She got a letter saying bushes needed to be trimmed, but it did not say which ones.  None of her email requests were acknowledged, so the last email she sent was a tad-bit sarcastic.  Turns out, the guy was super nice and even invited her to be on the board of directors.  Linda hasn't made any friends in the neighborhood, so I thought it would be a good way for her to meet new people.  She said No, people don't like the home owners association enforcers because they make people obey rules.
