A French Laundry style idea

Just like in a French garden joined to a cafe kitchen, there are plenty of herbs, especially lavender and a large lemon tree. Sometimes, a few chickens are kept, which would lay eggs with anticipation and patience on the part of the shop keeper. Sara's mama, Rebecca had been the shop owner for years now, and had finally managed to borrow enough money to run a cafe in the middle of the village. Sara followed her to arrange for regular delivery of milk, breads, butter, cheese, meats, cakes, cookies, and coffee. Mama's sandwiches were best. Sara often played teacher on the black chalk board at the entrance garden walk to the cafe. Lily's family helped to gravel the path way leading up to the shop front and hung a customer door bell.

There was often a touch of detail about Rebecca, like the way she grew her rose bushes to frame the front gates. At the end of summer, Sara admired with pity while she rested on the garden swing, mama's rows of lavender buds and the most giant sunflowers.
