Carding Chronicles

The Greatest Gift

Bouquet gift of J.Davis, photograph by J.Davis

My Mom loved pink.
Whenever she birthed another child
(There are eight of us),
Dad brought her pink roses.
I miss her often but
Mother’s Day most of all.
You only get one Mom.
Lucky I had the one
I had. Mom knew how
To love. It was her
Greatest gift.

Carding, Vermont is

…a good-sized town in the Green Mountain state with a busy Main Street that circles around a common that’s crisscrossed with walking paths and dotted with lots of trees. There’s a bandstand at one end that hosts concerts in summer and the locals build a skating rink for winter.

Carding is the creation of author Sonja Hakala who lives on a river in Vermont. You can read about Carding in her novels and the short stories that appear here every Monday.
