things that bring joy - day 30

He was intrigued, and I was trying to redirect him back out to the main sidewalk because I did not want him meddling in her things. When he made it up to her porch steps, she opened the door and walked out. She saw Alex, ran back in her house, and came out with this little goody for him:
