Seasonal pickings.

[hannah]

The meeting I had today was the first in a long time where I had space to talk. She let me take a few moments to look away and formulate my answers, and that's rare enough to be worth mentioning. I can't say if everyone at the organization works like her, and it still struck me as a good sign. So I'm tentatively open to the possibility. Wary, and open.

Also of positive note, the nearby mulberry tree's ripe. The only reason I didn't walk away red-handed is because a lot of birds had gotten to it before I could get a crack at things.
