Oh, that is a precious, precious memory. Just adorable. Now I want to lean out into the past and just hug that little boy of long ago.

JANE! It makes me cry! Worms live here...upside-down...so the birds can see it. That is so sweet, oh, my heart may burst!

When the birds were done eating in your yard, they came over to our place and flew over dad's car.

What a beautiful little boy he was. You can tell which ones of us are getting older...it made me tear up, too.

Free worms -- not just for the early birds? I'm getting hungry just thinking about them!!

And I get to go turn some compost into my daughter's tiny garden today so the worms will have a more hospitable environment and my grandson will be able to play with them. How cool is that?

I've been weepy all day and I LOVE this story so much! I think today must be Cry Like a Baby at Inopportune Moments Day.

Was he terribly wicked when he wasn't being overwhelmingly cute? He looks as though trouble found him now and then...

I read this story aloud to Lex. She loved it, too.

I would have hugged him and never let him go. What a sweet thing to do and there is a lot of wisdom in that choice!

What a delight. So simple, so thoughtful. "So they can read it from the sky."

Aren't the wonderful memories when they were young what keeps us going? Motherhood, what a joy!
