Saturday Pancakes by the Pond

A slow morning, a warm skillet, and a picnic blanket at the water’s edge.

Short rows, muddy knees, and tomato plants that belong to small hands.

One pot, one table, and a list on the fridge that everyone can read.

A loop of reeds, frogs, and the last light on the water.

A stained recipe card, a bubbling pot, and toast for testers.

Scrap wood, extra nails, and a porch railing premiere.

When the pond is loud with rain, the oven keeps the house kind.

A walking bouquet we do not pick — we just notice.

A blanket, a basket, and a tree that has hosted many crumbs.

Weather, meals, and one sentence about the pond.

Porch steps, quiet voices, and tiny lanterns over the grass.

A kitchen afternoon of peeling, packing, and labeling winter sunshine.
