I Wish You Could Smell My Backyard

Happy Mother's Day! I hope you enjoy the flowers and I do so wish you could visit this corner of my backyard and experience this fragrance. It is amazing!

Did you know that lilacs are one of my top 5 favorite flowers? Did you ever see the movie High Fidelity? He is always making top 5 lists and I started doing it too. I think I should start sharing these lists.

I'll start right now. Aren't you lucky?

Meredith's Top 5 Favorite Flowers

(in no particular order)

Tulips

Lilacs

Daisies

"Old Fashioned" Roses

I know that was only four. My mind suddenly went blank. Big shocker, I know. Rest assured, I will get back to you with a fifth.

...but the biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make while doing this. I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of the three of them sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages 6, 4, and 1. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in a hurry to get on to the next things: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less.
