One of my fondest memories of my girlhood home was the large flower bed full of Lily-of-the-Valley. Late April each year they would begin to bloom. On my birthday, my mother arranged a beautiful bouquet of these sweet flowers. She would place them “just so” on my dresser to greet me when I came home from school.

I wish I had seen this post sooner, but we have been on vacation and not near internet until yesterday. What a treat to see the photo.

See you in just a couple of days. So sorry you have to miss some of the best time of the year in Indian/Michigan—our Houston summer heat has arrived.

Love, Mom
