Remembering the Buds of Spring

“Never yet was a springtime, when the buds forgot to bloom.”
—Margaret Elizabeth Sangster

As summer marches on, I’d like to remember the buds of spring.

The cherry blossoms, the magnolias, the tulips, and the pear blooms.

Yes, the daffodils, too.

And the tended gardens.

And also the wild ones.

And the tiny buds that greeted the crisp sunny mornings.

When spring was young.

“We don’t remember days; we remember moments.” 
– Cesare Pavese

And these moments, when spent with loved ones, become happy memories.
