Orchard Skies (Thad Fiscella)

Welcome to a brand new week. Shall we start it with some relaxing piano music and a quote from a story?

Remember when Thomas Prescott met Miss Abigail Weston and her mother, Clara, in the orchard? This excerpt is from that first meeting.



Apple Blossoms and Whispering Hearts is part of my First Blooms and Second Chances anthology of four sweet Regency novelettes.


Thomas Prescott is awkward and believes himself destined by such to remain a bachelor, but then, he met Clara.

Leenie Brown

Leenie Brown fell in love with Jane Austen's works when she first read Sense and Sensibility followed immediately by Pride and Prejudice in her early teens. As the second of five daughters and an avid reader, she has always loved to see where her imagination takes her and to play with and write about the characters she meets along the way. In 2013, these two loves collided when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. A year later, in 2014, she began writing her own Austen-inspired stories and began publishing them in 2015. Leenie lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with her two teenage boys and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tillney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).

  1. Oh-My-Goodness! I love that music choice. The music was so soothing. I could almost see the petals falling from the tree and as the music slowed to an end… so too would the petals… until the next breeze. It gave me a beautiful mental visual. Thank you. I shall listen to that again… and again. Blessings, Leenie. Have a blessed rest of the day.

  2. Lovely peaceful music, Leenie. Welcome back. I hope your holidays were warm, restful, and rejuvenating.

    Thank you for this pleasant reminder of possibly my favorite short story of yours (really difficult to pick just one,) I think about this one so often. The story is gentle. Thomas is such a sweetheart, I just want to gather him into my arms for some motherly advice and encouragement. And dear Clara…

    It wasn’t just this sweet story, although the characters are gems. The memorable scenes and the descriptions of the apple orchard blossoms are what went so deliciously with the characters. And of course a child like Abigail is always a scene stealer, in a good way. I have to go read it now.

    1. The holidays were relaxing. I hope yours were enjoyable.

      Thomas is such a dear man. I thoroughly enjoyed Abigail’s relationship with him. How could Clara not fall in love with such a man? 🙂 I think he is a lot like this music – calm and peaceful – just the restorative tonic Clara and Abigail needed.
