....like the beginnings of the raspberries
which later became black raspberries
or the dainty nesting tables Pat brought us from the thrift store
or the dainty nesting tables Pat brought us from the thrift store
or the lobelia, happy in moss
Oreo under the grape vine
The faux birdhouse with the faux tin roof that Pete made for the lintel
I am not too proud to confess that having a lintel is a certain amount of pressure
The wild roses climbing over the fence
The baby sparrow preparing to leave the house
Marbles...always marbles...
The new additions to the fence
The yard bunny
and the ice cream wagon, "Scoop to Nuts", parked for the time behind town hall
brimming with perfect-summer-day smiles.

Happy Birthday Weekend, Siggy!
Oh, how dear the little things are in your world, the sparrow, the fence marbles, the nesting table, the ice cream truck... And to think I was stuck on the phone half the day with insurance companies. I need to go outside and ponder the little things before I too grow old with nonsensical things...
ReplyDeleteYou'll never grow old, silly...you'll always be my beautiful little sister!
ReplyDeleteGreat Pictures!! Especially the nasturtiums!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, but they will be so much better when I get your Nikon back! But I agree...the nasturtium is as beautiful as it really is.
