it'd be a watercolor lily...

...today

in soft pastels of white & pink

i couldn't resist - because again, you can hear it coming by this time i am sure of it - yes, lilies were also a flower my sister enjoyed - their look, that fabulous trumpet shape - and who can deny the all encompassing fragrance they exude - you can smell them for what seems like miles - it follows you everywhere if the flower is in your house - the fragrance is so pleasant to the nose - so very aromatic, we sometimes joked about it being - a perfume used in baths - my sister loved perfumes, too - she had many different kinds so the lily fragrance was definitely a favorite of hers - no surprise then for me now - when i see and smell lilies, i will forever think of her - remember our conversations, giggle about the plans we had for them - and realize those memories can lead to...

a

happy day.....
