Emily, Alex, and I were the only ones home today.

It was another really beautiful day. Alex and I napped on the porch swing. Between cars passing one could hear the bees quietly humming in the blossoming pear trees and the bird's singing. I saw a bluebird fly in, heard a hermit thrush, and listened to the mockingbird singing in the trees. Even got a little reading done, wrote a song, and drank coke. Then I thought of Sarah, and decided to take a picture especially for her, because I was reminded of one of her favorite songs, "Mayberry", by Rascal Flatts.

So here you are, Sarah!

"I miss Mayberry, sitting on the porch drinking ice-cold cherry coke

where everything is black and white..."

"Pickin' on a six-string, where people pass by and you call them by their first name,

watching the clouds roll by..."

And some flower pictures...

Sarah, I wish I had your camera!

As for sewing, we're working on the ball gown bodice...
