Backyard Beautiful


The lilacs scented the air like sprayed perfume.



The coffee tasted like comfort and perfection, a hint of vanilla, laced with warmth.


The doves nesting in our trees serenaded me with their morning coos.


The promise of a warm weather,
the potential of beautiful things,
both experienced in my backyard. 
What a blessing the morning was. 
New mercies,  and a new day.
