yesterday

Morning sunlight streamed through our bedroom windows, and promised me a lovely day.

They knew just how I wanted to spend it-  together and right HERE, my favorite place in the universe especially in the spring.
Beds were cleared and readied for good May planting (peas please)!

And even though she was curious about what her favorite boys were talking about, close to my side is where she stayed. She drew flower gardens, while I planted them.

But fruit blossoms beckoned us to inspect them...

Future plums led to pears, and an orange sweatshirted boy cried for his mother to put the camera down and join them in the woods...

Where care was taken around the familiar sink holes (mud)...

And a thoughtful dad lopped the sharp brambles to make the return trip less prickly

Over the first bridge...

And down to the creek we went

to let the water turn us all into kids again.

No matter how frigid the temperature, it inevitably seduces them in

DEEP! 

Boots filled and emptied several times over before we sloshed back to the house for hot baths and showers.

I couldn't have asked for more.

I hope yesterday offered just what you needed, as well!
