I enjoyed a long walk today

In my son’s new town.

He moved here this past fall,

so this is my first glimpse of spring in Cheraw, South Carolina.

The azaleas are in full flower now.

The wisteria are wafting their scents into the breezes.

The birds are nesting and singing.

I awoke to a song I did not know this morning.

I’m feeling like a Southern Belle.

I can’t think of anything more southern than moss

and magnolias,

Unless it’s an ornate gate.

Snowballs in spring are just magical.

The boy may have trouble getting rid of mama.
