What a beautiful post, @bluemoon, close to heart!
I suppose I feel it that way as I am also a bit nostalgic, also missing that greenery, the childhood and a more rural lifestyle we all had back in time. I am happy your mother and your wife were in a good relationship. And the last time you shared food with your mother - that is touching! <3
Loved the part of the rain... and of the rainbow too! 😇
