Taking time...

to smell the flowers


The apple trees that  border one side of the green have been especially beautiful this year


And as is so often my way, I leave the well-trodden path and venture through nettles and long grass so that I can meander among them


Apple blossom make me think of weddings.
I'm not sure why, my own wedding took place on a cold day in March and there were few flowers blooming and, it being Lent, none permitted in the church.
But if I ever marry again I would like to do so when the apple trees are heavy with blossom.


And wear a delicate pink-tinged white dress.
And carry a bouquet of apple blossoms.


You see, I have it all planned.
Just in case ....










Meanwhile I wander among the apple trees, happily taking pictures, pausing to admire the branches bearing beautiful blooms and taking time to smell the flowers

Nature is such a wonderful healer
N'est-ce pas?
