It’s mid evening when the sun is running it’s golden fingers through the grass in the backyard of our house. Quiet enough to hear the wafting of the crows feathers as it flies past, the movement stirs the scent of lilacs from a neighbours hedge, they drift past on the breeze.
Bootsie sits on the opposite chair, mine is not the lap he craves tonight, he is ever watchful of the crow, and I can see him lift his nose to scent the air around him, as it flies past.
He lurks in a land of drowsy softly closing eyes, and contented purrs….the lilacs fill the air around us, and I know that this is a moment. One that I craved, wished, imagined, and hoped for down on the coast. Now the lilacs are on the breeze, the cat is on the chair…the golden light echoes off of the crows feathers, and all is good.
Happy Sunday, Jen @ Muddy Boot Dreams
There is nothing like the 'scent'sational smell of lilacs in the air.
ReplyDeleteI felt I was right there with Bootsie,thankyou for sharing that
ReplyDeleteI've had moments since arriving when I just need to stop and savour the present and give Thanks that my dreams are finally unfolding.
ReplyDeleteWe're a little cooler here than you are, so our lilacs are a bit slower coming. There are a few blossoms on the trees that surround our yard and I can smell their lovely scent on the evening air, too. It's heavenly.
BTW, you've developed a very poetic writing style that's quite lovely and compliments your photographic gift beautifully.

Sometimes there are sweet moments in life when everything falls into place and there is satisfaction in the choices we made and a peaceful knowing that all is as it should be in our world. You describe it well. :)
ReplyDeleteNo scent is more precious than that of a lilac or rose ... I have over 50 lilacs & not one single blossom this year. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful write, Jen.
Have a great day ~
