When I got home from running (most of) my errands today, I stopped to get the mail. There was a key to one of the delivery boxes in our mailbox. I had been expecting this; I was tracking a tote bag from Zazzle and, as it arrived in Wilsonville this morning at some gosh-awful hour, it ought to arrive at my house in today's mail. I opened the box.
Indeed, my floppy envelope from Zazzle was there. And behind it was a box. I frowned at it. What was this box? I couldn't remember if I had ordered the tins of cards from the internet provider or only considered doing so, but this box was not a sane size/shape for holding them if I had. I cudgeled my brain trying to remember what else I had ordered recently, and coming up blank. Then I pulled it out.
Harry and David. "Oh yeah," says I, "the fruit boxes. What's this month? That's a really odd shape...."
This month, ladies and gentlemen, is a whole, ripe pineapple.
Unexpected pineapple. Glee, I think. I'll be more sure of the glee part when I have done something with it other than set it on the counter and stare at it in vague bafflement.
