Lemon Blossoms and New Life

I’m winding down my visit with my mom.  It has been a good trip, and I’ve stayed longer than I have in quite some time.  I’ve had the chance to catch up with old friends and see some of my family that I haven’t seen in a long time.  Of course, these experiences remind me of just how far away I live.  🙁

This time of year, the lemon trees in my mom’s back yard are in full bloom.  If you’ve never experienced this scent, it’s really quite beautiful.  I picked up on it as soon as I got out of the car the night I arrived, and I’ve enjoyed sitting in the back yard breathing in the sweetness each day.
