Beautiful May

[asakiyume]

Here is a road I walk every day. This photo is from yesterday, but this morning, when I passed this way, an oriole flew into an apple tree (not visible in this picture) and seemed to be sniffing the blossoms. Maybe it was sipping nectar. Maybe it was nibbling the petals. Maybe it was listening to whispered secrets--I don't know.



These are not the apple blossoms that the oriole was getting intimate with, but these are apple blossoms I especially love, because they're on a tree I grew from a seed.



Beautiful May ♥

Around this time last year, we sat in the grass on that green road and you let me talk about some things I was really unhappy about. I'm in a much better place today, but also seeing the beautiful green road makes me remember how gentle you were with me that day.

I remember very well! On that same day, I discovered that there was a grass that, if you chewed on it, tasted the way hay smells--sweet and springtimey. During autumn and winter, I forgot about that grass, and I only just remembered it yesterday, when I saw it again.

I'm very glad you're in a better place now.
