Lillies

Little one,
Today we went to the butterfly house at our favorite museum. The minute Mama walked in the door, she could smell something so beautiful; it literally made me close my eyes and sigh with delight.
I asked our friend if she could smell that wonderful smell and she just laughed. She couldn't smell anything!
I followed my nose around the path, seeking out this amazing smell and just around the bend was a beautiful tree I've seen many times before but never in bloom. The lillies hung nearly a foot long each from the upper branches of the tree, a light orange color like orange creamsicle! And the smell was so amazing! I sat on a bench and just breathed in and out for 5 minutes.
My friend came by and still could not smell the lillies, not unless she put her nose right in to the flower. She laughed again and said you were giving me a super sense of smell.
I remember smelling everything when I was pregnant with your brother Christian too. But this was so wonderful. All I could smell was lillies, lillies everywhere! :) THANK YOU!
Mama will be buying lots of Easter lillies this year to fill the house with something as close to this smell as I can get. You must love flowers as much as your Mama so we will enjoy them together!!
