The town I grew up in had this little meadow between my house and the big road where the trucks drove. It had all kinds of flowers and there’s a song that always reminds me of that time of my childhood.

The flowers of wonder
And the hidden treasures
In the meadow of life
My acre of heaven
A five- year old winterheart
In a place called home

This pattern war inspired by that uneasy feeling of homesickness and longing for peace and stability in a place where that once was reality.
I want to thank Tanja Luescher and Mary E Rose for the lace inspiration and help with this pattern.
