He knew I loved lilacs, so one day he stopped at the side of the road and stole a big armful from the edge of a farmyard. :-)Heather Pletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975795000759157299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29569768.post-83185232896936092972009-04-23T04:42:00.000-07:002009-04-23T04:42:00.000-07:00I can picture it in my mind - and it is beautiful ...I can picture it in my mind - and it is beautiful .. the flowers, the roadside, the landscape, the old rusty trick and the old man gathering the blooms .. and I can imagine his lady back at the house seeing him drive up, get out of that truck and bring her hand up to her heart as she sees what he has brought home for her.<br /><br />This is the loveliest scene.<br /><br />Your writing is so exquisite because it portrays the simple joys and common yet uncommon scenes. Sometimes we see them all the time, but we all can't express them in ways that make us remember that happenings are so special in so many ways.<br /><br />In this post, you made me see the flowers, smell the flowers, feel the air around the landscape, notice the contrast between the young fresh bountiful blooms and the old truck and then the imagined scene of what he was gonna do with those blooms.. makes me think of my family, my dad, my mom, my grandpa, my grandma.. friends who have families..aprons, mornings.. I could go on and on.<br /><br />By the way, yesteerday, one of my friends at work and I were talking about birthdays and turning 50 (not me, my husband).. my friend turned 50... ANYWAY, I told her, well she's got at least 50 more years.. and then I told her of your aunt who just turned 100, and how during the night she woke up and said, "I made it!" <br /><br />I am so gonna do that.<br /><br />HUGSShelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757079675613448834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29569768.post-36930027931614695222009-04-23T01:00:00.000-07:002009-04-23T01:00:00.000-07:00Aww, that is so sweet!
