This afternoon, we enjoyed a delightful tea party in the shade of the lilac bush.
We read encouragement from Ephesians, poetry from Stevenson and Milne, and a chapter in Charlotte’s Web.
Lia kept a British accent and a prim little chin the entire morning. She’s the fanciest farm girl I’ve ever known.
