Mom's Lilac Bush

[catwomon]

      My favorite thing about spring, or one of them, is the smell of all the flowers, trees and shrubs as they bloom. It doesn't get any better than nature's scented gifts to enjoy.

One of the best things about living in Louisville, for me, was that spring breezes absolutely fill the air with these precious aromas. There is more abundant fragrance

I always know it's spring here when the violets bloom-because I can smell them, too.

This is a beautiful, wonderfully sweet piece-you manage to bring together several elements-grief over your mother's passing, the joy of spring, the move-as one cohesive whole, and it's really good. :)

Awe! Thank you so much for reading and for your words. Yes, I had such an awful time for a time after my mom died. My life skidded very out of control for a few months. For me, there has been nothing comparing to that loss.

Congratulations on managing to write something after all ;-).

Joking aside, I enjoyed reading how flowers follow you through your life.

Thanks for reading after all. (smile) Actually, I had written it some time ago and it was languishing in a folder. I remembered that I'd like to post it, so this seemed the time. I edited it a bit, and there we have it. Thanks for commenting.

This is the perfect combination of sad and happy. Lilac is such a fragile and beautiful aromatic flower!
