📖A pair of hares. Reading Chloe Dalton's Raising Hare in my reading nook where my hare cushion 'lives'. (My friend sewed hare cushion fr scraps collected fr factory mills in England.) Her creation is a fine beauty, just like this book. Chloe Dalton's writing is elegant. ✨👌

A gentle rain came down much of the day. It felt quintessentially Mayland spring. Yet it also brought happy memories of time spent in England & Ireland. Writing of Ireland, our cat has claimed the "Ireland chair" & we're convinced she loves story time as much as we do! #storytime #cats #rain
