Population Count

Sometimes I lean over the back fence and chat with my older neighbor. We share a love of gardening and I enjoy seeing him out there daily, always doing something... he gives me inspiration to really live well and fully, despite deadlines.

Today I was telling him more about the land we bought in central Virginia, the wonderful community, neat things to do, how the net zero house erection is going, the Amish there, and the town's small population.

"Population 299?
What's wrong with 'em they can't get one more?"
