...That was the fastest you ever made it back home! <br />That serpentine wall always amazes me. I don't think I've ever seen a lilac in person. They don't seem to grow in the warmer climates, I guess. They are sure beautiful. Wisteria are my favorites because of the fragrance and beauty. The tulip bed was incredible as were all the flowers in your photos. Again, I haven't seen many tulips lately either.

Every spring she would write me a letter when she had seen the first robin each spring. My cousin was married in the chapel at UVA. A beautiful wedding. Thanks for the memories.
