Hereafter...



 Mom, are you making lunch or am I? Emily asks. Oh, I will in a minute, I reply, but I just saw the word Hereafter and it sparked something!...(they have ceased to wonder why:) or ask any questions.

Hereafter
I know I will return
In reverie to gently yearn
To touch again this lovely day
Slipping away, away, away

Hereafter
I shall smile a bit
As by the fireside I sit
To tenderly recall this hour
Falling, falling, a faded flower

Hereafter
I shall know that I
Lingered because it is July
And far too soon it disappears
Drifting, drifting in yester-years

 Victoria and Emily toss pea-pods to the neighbors cows. Sisters chuckle as cows chomp:)


Gardening can be so discouraging! We got a few large bowl fulls of peas but I hoped for a lot more. It's been too wet and as the plants began to bloom they just sort of died.

  1. Great shots...Victoria looks a lot older there with her hair up:)
    My pea plants are great but there isn't many peas really. I'm thinking it's too hot.
