Reclining on the wicker setee on my porch. The weather is balmy. The smell of lilac is heavenly. Grands are running around with bubbles and creating art with sidewalk chalk. I had my nails painted lavender just for fun today.
This is a moment to keep forever in a memory jar. Like marmalade.
As
Ivy says, "Can you smell it?" Summer is here in our peninsula...at least for today.
At the Lake Michigan beach with my Grands from Texas I dressed in sweatshirt and wrapped up in a blanket. They buried each other in sand and swam in frigid water. They enjoy the big lake so much.
I finished reading Defending Jacob. Talk about the other side of a story. My heart ached for the parents of a teen who is so seriously disturbed he destroys another child's life without remorse. We always feel for the victim of a heinous crime but rarely feel sympathy for the family of the perpetrator. This book hurt...
Garden art in a little town in Upper Michigan called Garden. Along a creek running through her yard, Jane, graciously let me enjoy her beautiful flowers and her art created from glass bells, plates and teapots. Just lovely!
I just finished The Orphan Train. My heart hurts but at the same time I feel the hope and connection the two women in the story shared. Reading a book like this makes me wonder about the life stories we all could tell. I will read this again.
I have had a run of good luck in the book choices I have made in the past few months. Another 6/5.
