At 8:30 last night, headlights appeared on the hill above the stretch of prairie before my house. The headlights quickly sailed down the hill and directed themselves toward my house.
I recognized the lights within
a few seconds of seeing them: the UPS truck.
Over the last week I have ordered
all sorts items from Amazon.
Wow,
I thought as the UPS van backed into my drive, what is so important it
requires delivery at 8:30 at night?
I flipped on my outside lights
and leaned out my door to meet the driver. “Keeping you out a bit late tonight,” I remarked.
“Amazon Prime,” he simply
replied. He handed me the package.
Naturally, I wanted to see which
of my orders was so important. My razor
blades, perhaps? I opened the box as
soon as I stepped back inside the house.
And there it was: rosemary spice.
