the scent of lilacs

it is tuesday mid morning, after this mornings chores i find myself sitting on the chaise watching, well more like listening to i will meet you in st-louis one of the many movies k picked up for me at the library on his last visit, other's include dancing in the rain, paris when it sizzles and more such as these, he knows me well. i like having familiar voices in the background to my quiet living,  a bit of last week and the weekend i took care of my friends farm, she has seven horses ( i was saying nine till i counted:) i loved doing it, rising before the sun and driving down the dirt road and knowing that they and other animals counted on me. in the afternoon i would let them out into an orchard, how wonderful to open that gate as they gallop and disappear between the trees.  at sunset having them wait for me at that same gate as dusk settles in.

we have had such a mix of rain and non rain:). while i did chores the sweet smell of lilacs were in the air  how i love them so,  i decided to bring some in. It will rain they say for the next nine days, what a rainy spring. my garden has barely seen the sun and i can't help to think about farmers who are struggling but  as you know am grateful for all of it.

I have been caught in deep churning thoughts that have left my gut a little sore, but i know that good things i will come of it, dear friends good things will come of it right?
