We have a tradition in our house

hand-made cards

with poetry

either poems we write

or

famous poems copied out

Today I received the most beautiful card

from miss is

with this poem

along with beautiful prose from miss is

Afternoon on a Hill

by Edna St. Vincent Millay

I will be the gladdest thing

Under the sun!

I will touch a hundred flowers

And not pick one.

I will look at cliffs and clouds

With quiet eyes,

Watch the wind bow down the grass

And the grass rise.

And when the lights begin to show

Up from the town,

I will mark which must be mine,

And then start down!

Delicious Mother's Day pie

made by moi.

the secret: orange zest

And look at all the rhubarb I have left.

The rhubarb was picked on Sunday at the farm up the road

a bargain @ $5 for a huge bunch -

I have all this left over for a crumble later this week.

rhubarb and asparagus -

my spring-time favorites

delicious

Happy Mother's Day

How funny is this?

Love this website:

postcards from yo mamma

and now it's a book.

Another good mother daughter book:

Every Mother is a Daughter

I am about half way through the book and enjoying it very much.

Later today we will devour the strawberry-rhubarb pie that I make every year for Mother's Day.
