Neville looked around at the plants awaiting shipment to customers, rubbing his brow as he thought once again that having some sort of part time help would be wonderful. Between the plants, the cuttings, and the packages of summer garden seeds, it seemed a lot.
Oh, well, nothing for it but to just start sending them out.
He called his two owls over and attached the cuttings to their feet, knowing the packages would be light enough that they would be fine singly to deliver them. He'd deal with the plants later, as they were happily sitting in their soil. The seeds were fine, as well, and each recipient was close enough that the owls would be able to make all deliveries on time.
With that done, Neville sent off the owls and went back to his house to clean up. He decided to splurge with dinner out at one of the restaurants--maybe Socks?--that evening. Perhaps he'd run into someone he knew.
Perhaps he'd even run into a beautiful woman who would declare her undying love and throw herself at his feet. That thought made him chuckle all the way home.
