A bouquet of flowers freshly picked from the garden…

A bowl of apples picked fresh from the tree…

 

Michael peeling and slicing…

me adding cinnamon, sugar and rolling dough…

mom preheating her oven just right to bake….

an apple pie that not one person alone had time to make.

 

 

All of us sitting with a piece of pie…

while talking and laughing…

enjoying each others company and conversation…

savoring the pie that we all had a share in making.

 

With a vase of flowers on the table…

carefully arranged by those little hands….

a few extra artificial flowers tucked in the side…

to make that arrangement perfect in her eyes.

 

It’s the simple things that are life’s true treasures.
