Lily of the Valley

My lily of the valley is flinging its sweet fragrance all over the yard, not only making my heart sing but making me almost forget about a multitude of back yard bare spots (from lack of sun and an abundance of squirrels) and a multitude of front yard bare spots (from grubs)--both under repair right now. I have picked several small bouquets of them so I can enjoy them inside as well. Two of them are in tiny, beautiful pitchers my mother gave me years ago, which I bring out every summer for tiny arrangements. Just right. If I HAD to chose a favorite flower--please don't make me, please--it would be lily of the valley. This year they are especially glorious.
