Special Place

“Peace. 
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work.
In means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.” 

We have a few special places for Clara.   Today I picked the “peanut” we designed in her memory.  We often called Clara out little peanut and when she passed we found it fitting to create a peanut shaped area in our yard to hold her tree.  The bench is perfect for when we want to go out and reflect or just have some quiet time.  One each side of the bench are lilies.  We try to decorate the area for the holidays.

The kids love watching the blooms bud and open each year.  This year it produced fruit and the boys watched them grow.   Someday Clara’s tree will be the pinkest place in town, until then we watch it grow and hope it is as beautiful as she would have been.
