glimpsed thru evergreen

summer blushes crimson red

neighbor’s hollyhocks

cornfields of faeries

follow grandchildren’s ball games

fireflies shine at night

angus cows with calves

graze in heavenly pastures

sweet ruminations

birdie’s b & b

breakfast

image from Carpe Diem

 

morning of wedding
in small town setting
pass the raspberry jam

baskets of muffins
platters of melons
eggs with sausage & ham

under the arbor
of appetite’s ardor
the groom, his men & fam

raise teacups to toast us
(july sun ’bout roasts us)
antique china serves glam!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eleven years ago today, our oldest son married his sweet bride in Corsica, S. Dakota. Our hostess served us a sumptuous breakfast out in the orchard.
