new {to me} word via Kelly's blog and why do I always forget about you - oh so beautiful french brackets
Good morning! I love watching your garden unfold. You are about 2-3 weeks behind us, so it's like watching a re-run. My first day lilys are blooming and the annual poppies started a few days ago.

Sometimes I'd like that drink too - and then sometimes I want to remember because the memory carries some poignancy or clarity or simply makes me feel washed clean at the end of it... and sometimes I can't handle the memory. And sometimes it's enough just to know that there is something out there that can make the pain go away for a bit when it reaches around my heart and squeezes...
ReplyDeleteHey....save me some of the nepenthe, too!! :)
