From My Sweet Sister:
Sibyl Adams lilacs are blooming now- I'm suddenly arrested by the fragrance yesterday and today, it wafts over me knocking me out with my grandma Hammond memories:i see her sweet freckled face and her nose, MY nose; i hear the clink of a spoon in the coffee cup, and see her gray chair; i hear her jolly laugh (she talked from her diaphragm!!); her love for the family, & a fire and passion for life that she passed on to all of us
