Not more than a mile away, all of the rain this past year has created a field of wild sweet peas, that will knock your socks off. When you open the car door, you almost flinch because the flowers are so fragrant. After I saw the field, I had a brilliant idea for my mom’s mother’s day gift. I took all of my kids to the field, and they each sang one of our favorite primary songs that Nonnie taught them just a few months ago.
After the Jackson 4 finished their solos, they all sang it together. The plan is to splice it all together as one song, cutting in and out from person to person. I have high hopes!
When the project was done, we walked through the fields, and just inhaled.
Then we picked a few wildflowers to take home for some more inhaling.

(Update: The Jackson 4 created quite the video! It was actually amazing at how opposite it was from my vision. But it did get a good reaction, filled with tears. It’s just that those tears weren’t tears of happiness — they were tears of laughter!)
