View fullsize  Give me a bench  and a languid lake  Sun on my shoulders  breeze on my soul     Throw in a pen, a book  and loud geese  and I'll write of my hopes  and wish you peace     (….except that my 2 year old wants to swim with the ducks so I'll have to wait
View fullsize  I was just here watching the ducks with my baby + Mims. We loved our day so much.
