Remembering

So, so thankful this past week for...
cousins, sisters, a long room for a long table, 
engagements, camellias in prolific bloom,
 forgiveness, football, brother-in-laws,
 help with cooking, 
woodsmoke, 
sons,
a father-in-law who carves, a mother-in-law who says "yes",
 ironed linens, 
Aunt Merry who brings wine and "stirs" the gravy,
 knex, nieces and nephews galore, 
a house that flows,
making up with my husband.

Blossoming...




in your neighborhood---
if you are fortunate enough to live in the South.
