"Big girl as she was, Laura spread her arms wide to the wind and ran against it. She flung herself on the flowery grass and rolled like a colt. She lay in the soft, sweet grasses and looked at the great blueness above her and the high, pearly clouds sailing in it. She was so happy that tears came to her eyes."

We are deep into the last books of the Little House on the Prairie and they just keep getting better. I think I will need to revisit them every few years. Have you read them all?
That is a fantastic photo, Amy. We need to revisit them soon. Aine doesn't remember them. They are so good.
ReplyDeletethanks! they deserve to be read every few years. we seem to get something new each time.
DeleteI'm reading these to my daughter for the first time as well. My old copies, actually. I can't believe how much I forgot! And yes, they do keep getting better.
ReplyDeleteand they read so good as an adult. i am surprised how much i become engrossed in the story.
DeleteI read them all as a little girl. So looking forward to sharing them with my daughter. My boys have no interest at all. :)
