Trina Schart Hyman is one of my all time favorite illustrators. I used to reread this book over and over as a kid and I looked up the cover on a whim and can't stop thinking about it lately! Just such a fantastic piece

Happy Sunday! This week’s congregation was small But reverent, in spite of it all; They inwardly praised The grass that they grazed And gave thanks or the yards without walls.

friends! What do you do when life gives you lemons 🍋? You make a haiku 😄 You see three lemons in my hand; I see meringue pie in my future. (These are homegrown Meyer lemons.)
