Lazy Sunday Afternoon

I spent a very peaceful time with the alternative mother and some of her children (as well as my own!) this afternoon. We picnicked in a field and the sun shone on us as though it was the middle of July. The younger children climbed trees and the two older ones lounged around with us on the rugs. We, the alternative mother and me, reminisced about how they have grown up so. How they sat on the same rugs as babies and gurgled politely to each other before vomiting their excess food down our backs!! How we had spent lazy days with them, with nothing much else to do and no where else much to go.

It's a long time ago now and they have grown into beautiful young people.

We are blessed.
