EVAN FROM HEAVEN

What do you think of this?
I think of my youngest daughter's, and now son-in-law's, wedding.  
A warm and lovely summer afternoon and evening.
In a beautiful garden.  On an organic farm and vineyard. 
A very unique land.  Flower and vegetable gardens scattered and hidden all about.
Oh and you could hear them whispering . . asking themselves . . you could . .  
"What will I find down this twistting narrow path, or through that gracefully fetching arbor,
or over this little beckoning bridge?"  
Follow me.   And behold.  A marvelously mellowed yellowed roadster in all of its retiring glory. . 
EVAN FROM Heaven
Coincidently, the best man's name was Evan.  He - a bit too wonderfully hellish to have come aboard this little heaven train.
Was it a memorial? 
Was it hiding . . its tarnished body not quite up to the constant parade of stylish gardeny guests?
Were orchids about to burst up from its center and do their tranquil dance as only orchids can do?
Well, what do You think?

  6. That's a good thought. And maybe some big joyful eyes discovering Evan under a Christmas tree.
