(The bizarre nature of weather reality has set in around here. It's weird. My start-of-school memories tell me this is still a time of unwanted classroom heat.)
The image features a rustic wooden structure with a window, surrounded by a vibrant garden. The window, framed in weathered wood, has a white curtain partially drawn, revealing a glimpse of a woven basket inside. The garden is lush and colorful, with a variety of flowers including bright yellow blooms, possibly goldenrod, and vibrant red flowers, likely poppies, interspersed with green foliage. The flowers are densely packed, creating a natural border around the building. The scene is set in a serene, natural environment, with greenery visible in the background, suggesting a peaceful, rural setting.

I dread the day that company resurrects Bob, though. You just know he's a revenant and he'll be back.
