My neighbor keeps borrowing my chickens. Again.

Alright, so I had a weird one yesterday. I was at the Bi, Mart in Roseburg, just picking up some feed for the chickens, and I saw my old friend, Mary. We used to be thick as thieves, back when our kids were in elementary school. Then something just, I don't know, it faded. No big fight, no drama, just drifted apart. She saw me, I saw her, and it was this awkward nod and a quick, Hey. We didn't even stop to talk.

It got me thinking all the way home. Is it just me, or do some friendships just have a shelf life, even good ones? Like, you grow, they grow, and you're just not compatible anymore, but there's no bad blood. It's not a breakup, it's just, finished. Does anyone else get that? Or am I just overthinking it because of the dusty chicken feed? Let me know what you think.
