Today I walked around the side of my house picking up a few sticks as I went. I noticed something deliciously fragrant and looked over to where the lily of the valley grow. To my delight, they were blooming!
My dear mother-in-law gave me a few little plants from her garden about twenty something years ago and now I have a nice stand of them and can pick a hearty little nosegay, which I did this evening after work. I was having a neighbor over with her potluck and mine to eat dinner so we enjoyed the glorious little blooms on the table. And we always have tea when we're together!
I must remember to send a photo to Katherine who made the vase in pottery class and to Colleen whom I will always associate with lily of the valley {she's a stitching friend who, way back when, made her babies' christening gown with lily of the valley lace!}
And a note to self: if and when I move, take some of these plants with me....
