Sweetest Scent

I can officially say that we are finally getting some pretty blooms in our yard.

I know, I know, blooms are old news to you Southern belles,

but is it ok if this Northerner shares?

Sunday was a beautiful day.  The sun was shining,
the temperature was in the low 80s,

and there was the slightest breeze. 

As I walked around my yard to inspect the progress of my 

soon-to-be-blooming garden,

 the slight breeze sent a swirl of the sweetest scent around me.

  I knew immediately then that my Lilies of the Valley were ready to greet me!

Every year, when my Lilies of the Valley bloom,

I just stand in my yard and take in the scent. 

I love the sweet, delicate scent so much.

This year, I thought, why not cut a few flowers to bring indoors?

After all, it seems as though I catch the lovely scent one day

and before I know it, these sweet little flowers are gone

away for another year. 

You know, it's silly sometimes when I think about how

something so simple can give me such joy. 

Why in the world have I never thought to bring a few of these

blooms indoors before?  

Hoping your day is a beautiful one!
