GROWING UP ...

I can almost smell the fragrance from these beautiful lilacs.

Growing up, we did not have any lilac bushes in our yard,
but our neighbors were so generous.

I remember taking huge bouquets to school for the nuns.

The white ones were the most fragrant.

When I had a home of my own,
I planted a bush outside the bedroom window.

When the wind blew - oh my did they ever smell good!

Here's hoping whoever receives this card

enjoys it as much as I did in creating it.

Oh - and isn't that old watering can
the most perfect vessel?
