morning walk with friends
to the park
to the cider mill
shared
fresh hot donut
to breakfast
at the little town’s diner
inside
warm, friendly, comfort, yum
outside
a
corner of community
taped to their window
invite for a casual party pace group bike ride
signup for the 2nd anniversary
baseball golf outing
with prizes
fancy door for the fairies
to come and go
as they please
best of all
handmade thank you note
from a child to the diner
joyful art
kind words
curls
swirls
squiggles
biiiiiiig smile
fancy hair
blowing in the wind
balloon?
giant snail ?
baby snails?
maze?
imagination
and
gratitude.
