"I'm coming back tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that and the day after that."
from the book, "the secret garden" ~by frances hodgson burnette
ice box cakes
jump rope
sweet tea
those two pockets on my grandmothers apron
penny candy
side walk chalk
bicycles with pretty baskets and streamers
the smell of dill in the garden
the lights of the bodega
paths that lead no where
light that leads the way
jazz in the park
lightening bugs
first kisses
the word~ enchanting
picnic blankets
that old house with the pantry
naps
old movies dancing across white sheets in the backyard
that old projector
flip flops
bare feet
daisies
love
yes
love
wanting to go higher on the swing
yellow kitchen floors
a simple walk
: )
40 ladlefuls of love:
you leave me feeling enchanted each time i visit. : )
simply captivating...and enchanting.
one love.

wrapped up with some faded red satin ribbon.
