Friday's flowers

I can't seem to quit taking pics of the beautiful

flowers and trees this Spring.  This tree,

which I think is a Kwanzan Cherry, was seen

at Menard's the other day.  I just happened to have

my camera in the car and was parked close to it,

so I snapped a shot.  I'd like to have a couple

of these in my yard.

 The Dogwoods are a favorite, too.  I'd also

like to have one or two of these.

My tulips somehow got tilled up one year.

I made the mistake of planting them at the edge

of the garden.  I won't name names, but he

didn't remember they were there.  I miss them.

This little Lavender pot was my grandmother's.

I have several pieces that belonged to her.

This is one of my favorites.  The stamp on the

bottom says Prussia, I don't know how old it is.

It may not be very valuable, but I love it.

I don't think I've said much about my maternal

grandmother in my blog before.  She was a sweet

lady and I loved to visit her.  I wish I had her

green thumb.  She loved to garden and was 

quite good at it.  I thought of her when I was 

picking a bouquet of lilacs yesterday at the

edge of the garden.  

The scent of lilacs in our yard is just heavenly 

this year.  The scent takes me back many,

many years.  I can  remember playing under

a huge lilac by our house on the farm. 

Do you have a favorite scent that makes

you think of someone or of your childhood?  

Until next time...
