year four

. . .and another thing I love about Harrison. .
is tender memories.
Perhaps. . .
when at one time. . .
you felt nothing but joy at a special place .. .
it will forever hold a place in your heart.

Four years ago today .. .
at the very place where the lil' farm hand walked with his dampa through the trellis. .
a bride walked. . .

My son. . .is a very blessed man.
I tell him that from time to time. . .
I love him. . .and I love that girl he married too.

My peonies are blooming right on schedule. . .
some years. . they are a little early. .
some years . .they are a little late.
but this year. .
the buds are open and begging to be sniffed.

I like to count the stems .. .
because I can.
this year. .
100 plus stems. . . enough for a good part of a garland.

A garland of peonies fit for a beautiful bride.





Dear Lord Jesus. . .
bless our children. . .
hold them close. . .

All for now. . .

  3. The only thing that could outshine those beautiful flowers: The radiant bride. And she continues to glow in every picture I have ever seen of her...a beauty in looks and deeds as well.

    My neighbor's peonies are nodding over our wall, and yesterday I enjoyed cutting my first peonie for the kitchen table. I thought of T & B's wedding when I did so!

  6. Like a dream - what a beautiful setting, what a beautiful couple.

    I think you've guessed right about my lunch partner, and of course, it would be lovely to be three for lunch sometime soon!
