Last night John shopped and hauled and arranged so that today three special ladies could join me for iced tea and strawberry shortcake under the blooming apple trees.
(Let’s pretend this picture has me, my mom, my granny and her caretaker (who feels more like a family friend every day) in it all happily smiling because we are outside together on such a beautiful day!)
We ate and laughed, bird watched and bee watched (that’s just like birding but with bees), told stories and I pretended there wasn’t anything else more pressing that needed doing for a few hours.
Because you know what?
There wasn’t.
Behind the Willows 
Lovely, Jessie.
Thanks. ❤
Reblogged this on anita dawes and jaye marie.
I love days like these… but we need more of them, I think.
I think so too.
This is awesome.
Thank you, and thank you for sharing! 🙂
Love all of your posts! This one is so sweet and poignant! BTW, my granddaughters loved your book as did the momma-to-be whose little girl is due this summer!
❤ Thank you! I don't think hearing that kids loved the book will ever get old! 🙂
Just waiting for the NEXT one! But I have a different thing to tell you, you got me hooked on David Ahern’s Madame Tulip. I bought all three, I just finished the 3rd one. Now I am sad. I may have to reread all of them again. Thanks for making my literary life a little more fun!
Just give us a bit.. we are working on it! 😉 I’m so glad you loved the Madame Tulip books too!
🙂
How lovely. We need to make time for moments like these. 🙂
