Thanksgiving Wishes
Growing Up Snuck Up On Us
"I saw this in a movie once," says the oldest of the cousins as she picks up one of the chestnuts they had collected and turns towards the the Old House. "You make a wish and try to break some glass on one of the windows."
She lines up her shot and lets the nut fly, making a wish she doesn't yet understand is futile as the glass of one of the windows shatters:
"I wish we'll always be able to be together like this."

Faedaze
Daisy leaned back against the wall of the window bench, the dress she was embroidering on falling to her lap, all but forgotten. Her gaze rested on the trees just beyond the edge of her garden, watching with dreamlike expression on her face, waiting for something others doubted would ever come.
