And now the chairs have rearranged themselves, invited a friend or two, and wait patiently for the family to assemble.
Meanwhile, the action is taking place elsewhere. . .
on the deck
in the water. . .
The chairs don’t worry. They wait, patiently, knowing that food and wine and a campfire will draw the crowd in before long . . . .
And sure enough, soon the chairs are filled with contented people, laughter, full tummies, little girls drinking sparkling apple juice from fancy (plastic) wine-stemmed, fish-decorated glasses. And every so often, all the occupants in all the chairs fall silent at once, just for a moment. . . .
and perhaps they sigh, in their thoughts . . . .
Ah, summer. . . .
no words, just a sigh of contentment
It sounds perfect. Just…perfect.
(And you have the most gorgeous grandchildren!)
Ah, summer, indeed. It's been perfect, so far.
how tranquil, what wonderful pics
Ah, Nola, growing up so elegantly.
Nola is getting so big! But she still likes her bunny so maybe she will be little for a little while longer.
