Longtime Porch Decor

Was alone at home quietly reading on the couch when I suddenly heard a low voice quite nearby. It was a little disconcerting because I hadn't heard any car pull up, and when I glanced out the window there was only my car in the driveway. I got up to look around and at first saw nothing. Then I heard another low voice and realized there was a group of four young bicycle riders in the driveway unfolding a map. Of course I realized immediately they were looking for the nearby fire road and stepped out onto the porch to give them directions. They seemed grateful and a bit relieved. As I stepped back inside I could see them looking back at the house and one of them pointed. Somehow I could just tell they were commenting on the looming specter of our new porch decoration. Worked like a charm!
