Shepherd's Diner
Patsy Hayes remembered when it first happened, she was sure of it, down to the specific date and time. She was getting older and increasingly forgetful, but the others had to concede that she was right on this point. The deliveries had begun late last winter, just as the bitter nights were lengthening, giving way to sunny mornings that drew tender, green shoots from the soil. “It was March 3rd, I know it was,” she said, distinctly remembering that it was her niece’s half-birthday. “First thing I saw when I went outside to do my morning watering.
