A match made in heaven...



There are those simple moments in life when everything makes sense.  For me, many times it has nothing to do with an earth shattering event.  I've had a few 'ah ha' moments that have had to do with... of all things.... my favorite flower....lilacs.  

Mom always had them in our house growing up as soon as they were in full blown.   Jeff, the first months of us dating, had them delivered to my college room in the dead of winter.  He called everywhere to find them.  Heading to Mackinaw Island when newly married specifically for the lilac festival....and best of all for me at this stage...a lilac bush literally out my bedroom window.  What a welcome to my California home two years ago...a lilac bush in bloom.  And what a refreshing boost last year with my struggling spirit as a mom of a newborn...my lovely lilac bush.  It has been such a wonderful surprise each spring.  and truly a match made in heaven...each time.
