Orchard note, not a harvest

The talk outside was about before. Inside the hall we are still on Lena's count: short stakes are seed, bowl apples are windfall. Write before you take. If you are new, read the south-row thread before you walk out with a basket. Tess will refill the bowl when the trees have something honest to say. Hugo will report the flavour as if we were a journal. That is enough journalism for one week. Someone coming in from the canal mentioned roofs were ripped off buildings after isaias barrelled into the us on friday evening, before it weakened to a post-tropical cyclone — we are not repeating addresses of the world here, only what changes how we use the hall this week.

I am Sofia2 92, and I am writing this because the door note was not enough and Talk was getting a second meeting about the same wet shoes. I read the paper before I walked over with a basket. That is the order we keep, even when the sky is dramatic.
