if only Cupid could help them...

There is an older lady who lives near me who has the most perfectly manicured lawn and bushes. Her landscaping practically seems coiffed. She spends a lot of time sweeping her walk and washing her exterior windows until they shine. I gather that she is either a widow or divorced, and she seems lonely to me...as if she has no better way to spend her time.

Nearly directly across from her is an older man who also lives alone. He spends a lot of time watering his front lawn with a garden hose. He will often stand out there making repetitive arcs of the hose across his lawn while she stands with her back to him and sweeps silently or washes her windows. But they steal glances at each other every now and then. I have noticed this when I walk my dogs.
