There’s No Place Like Home

T is for the toast that my dad makes in the morning. H is for the home we live in. E is for eating pie for breakfast. R is for reading a good book after school. E is for the scrambled eggs my brother makes. S is for sleeping in on the weekends. N is for watching the bees sip nectar in the summertime. O is for hearing the owls at night. P is for playing with my brother. L is for smelling the lavender that grows in our garden. A is for accepting that the Slocan lake is too cold to swim in. C is for the carefree days of summer. E is for watching an eagle circling above the trees. L is for staying up late. I is for walking across the ice on the creek. K is for kayaking on Slocan lake. E is for the echoes in the mountains. H is for homework. O is for the apples falling in October. M is for the beautiful Valhalla mountains across the lake. E is for watching the early morning sunrise.
