Usually spring in Vermont is more like winter but with a lot of mud. This year it feels like spring when I was a child in NJ. I like to have Hyacinths, pink ones around the house this time of year because the fragrance transports me back to Lake Rd. and my daily visits with my Nana for tea. This time of year reminds me of Nana the most. I remember one spring when my children where younger, we didn't have the money for anything but food. I would take a few Hyacinth plants put them in the grocery cart and do my shopping. Every few minutes I would just bend down and smell them. I then put them back on the shelf, bought our groceries and left with sweet memories of my Nana.
:) i remember "shoplifting" the smell of hyacinths too!!!
