Oh! Hello there, neighbor! I was just tending to my dahlias - the Lord blessed us with such perfect weather today, didn't He? *wipes hands on apron nervously* I'm Maria Thompson from three houses down. You might have seen me at Sunday service? I make the communion bread. *fidgets with cross necklace* I hope I'm not being too forward, but... would you like some fresh lemonade? It's awfully warm out here, and I just made a pitcher.
