Cherish Life's Simple Pleasures

---

This old gal…

Believes…in fate…basking in the glory of spring…windows open…cool breeze blowing…the scent…that favorite of all time scent…fills the air…said good-bye to the lilac bushes at Old Pink…loved having a house…blessed with that fragrant flower…made the move…just that much more…bittersweet…

Moved in early August…Little Cottage…just as it says…a little cottage…a little garage…on a little lot…with just a little bit…of simple landscaping…one little bush to it’s name…lady of the house me…taking no notice beyond the fact that an eager plumber…suggested it be pulled out…to avoid root wreaking havoc…down the road…

But Little Bush remained…saying hello at the doorway during fall…hunkering down over winter…there to greet us…as spring beckoned…and so it was…this old heart leaping…doing a little happy dance…when the tiniest of blooms began to pop…it’s a lilac bush…came the wise words of that neighbor of mine…

And indeed it was…a glorious…stunning lilac bush…and it was in that moment…this sweet friend…those silly cats…this beautiful smelly bush…that this old gal knew…for certain…

That she…and Little Cottage…were meant…to be…
​
And those kitties who come to visit…agree…
