lily of the valley
Tucked in the back corner of the garden,
behind the magnolia tree,
in the shadows,
in the shadows,
grows May's birth month flower,
a favourite of mine.
a favourite of mine.
Lily of the Valley.
Waiting to be tucked into a tiny vase, here are some blooms resting on the charming, decades-old book that Daphne from Ivy, Phyllis and Me sent me last year.
When I was a young girl, I remember that some women would wear Lily of the Valley fragrance.
That may well be passé by now, but the scent is still heady and intoxicating.
Enough sitting here for now, the house is calling to me to get things in order. With a big temperature drop since yesterday, the gardening will be put on hold for today in favour of addressing the indoor jobs: cleaning, sorting, pitching, maybe even ordering a desk. I miss having one!
Enjoy your weekend!
For the first time, I'm pleased to be linking with "A Favourite Thing" at Mockingbird Hill Cottage.
