On flowers

 

Had initially planned to include an awkward exchange with a neighbor today but thought it better to turn to other things. I get along well enough with my immediate neighbors.

An observation.

I sent some flowers to an online flirtation/ friend. She seemed to like it. But it made me think whether giving flowers to someone you do not know  well is romantic or creepy. In high school we had a tradition of giving wrist-.worn flowers to dance dates even if you don’t know them much.

Stephen King hadn a short horror story about a man who continually buys flowers for women the then kills. I did not kill my dance dates in high school.
