Butterfly Garden
“Her place as Adam’s wife was only part of her joy. She had always dreamed of a big family. Spinster Sara, a wife, a mother, a daughter-in-law, a sister. However had she come to deserve such happiness?
In the kitchen, Adam’s mother was telling her wide-eyed granddaughters a story while they ate, though it was Lena they gave their attention to, not their food. The story was about a rabbit who had begun it’s tiny life in a hole in Lena’s garden.
Sunnybunny had refused to go out and discover the rest of the world, like his sisters and brothers had done. She had stayed, instead, to live off Lena’s summer vegetables, for longer than Lena cared to admit. So Sunnybunny ended up becoming Emma’s pet, because Lena could not find it in her heart to chase the small rabbit away.
Katie asked Adam to help her catch a rabbit of her own, taking his answering growl in stride and shrugging her shoulders. Then she charmed her grossmommie into giving her another slice of vanilla-peach kuchen.
Adam decided ...against sitting and went to the window.MoreLess
