lilacsI had a clematis that was neglected lastyear and went out of control. I cleaned it all up this spring and let it start right from the ground. We have about 2 feet of grown now so I hung each branch on a string so that it will grow up the huge trellis we have there.

While I was stringing it up I heard a little voice. No it wasn’t that kind of voice. It was a lady from Cape Breton. She had stopped at the bank across the street and saw our Lilacs, blue and white.

She was likely in her sixties and was telling me her grandmother had them at their old home but she hadn’t had any in many years becaue the old home property was sold.

I gave her a couple of big bunches of both the blue and the white.

She said I made her day and that God would bless me, but He already had. I got to be the one to give her a handful of memories.
