I love this top picture---Abe is so proud and protective, and Daisy is smiling a little smile as she rests in his arms. All Daisy's brothers just love her. They want to hold her and kiss her little head and look at her tiny toes. Even our baby Malachi assumes a serious and protective air when he holds her.
Children's voices in the orchard
Between the blossom- and the fruit-time:
Golden head, crimson head,
Between the green tip and the root.
Black wing, brown wing, hover over;
Twenty years and the spring is over;
To-day grieves, to-morrow grieves,
Cover me over, light-in-leaves;
Golden head, black wing,
Cling, swing,
Spring, sing,
Swing up into the apple-tree.
--T.S. Eliot
