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.
