Once upon a time
I did not know about pumpkins at Halloween
or pecan pie at Thanksgiving
or even if there were clementines
in the wild Mid West
but now I have friends
in every corner of the United States.
Allison in New England
Jen in the Mid West
Lynn in the Ozarks
Sarah in Maryland
Christina in a College Town
and Christy at the edge of a chalk board
Quinn, farmer, photographer, Geographer
bb in Tuvalu
Eurolush, American abroad
Kathe on the edge of the Chesapeake
Breadbox somewhere hot
And all of you
who visit and leave such friendly messages
with laughter, insight and encouragement.
Thank you

ReplyDeleteDo you know what we say, in Tuvalu?
ReplyDeleteYou, my dear, are a peach.
This is so acutely matched (for those I know anyway). You are something, really.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful way of illustrating your "thank you's"...........
ReplyDeleteThe more I know, the nicer the world seems. I think it is the same for you.
ReplyDeleteI read the second to last one as Mity Mice, which is rather less appealing.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you're here in the mornings to give me a smile. Especially this morning, which has been inexplicably stressful so far.
But what about pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving? G is still getting used to that one... K x
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely good to have friends in far off places - makes the world a little cosier!
ReplyDeleteGood lord, woman, where do you come up with these images? FAB labels, I say. FAB.
ReplyDeleteLovely illustrations - and Each Peach Pear Plum was one of our favourite books when the kids were small along with Peepo - hurray for Janet and Alan Ahlberg!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what amazes me more--the circular apricot reference and that You Remembered, or that somehwere, somehow, an apricot grew in Milwaukee.
