I had this sticker back in high school.

Puff the Magic Dragon by Peter, Paul & Mary
This was a favorite from my childhood.Ever since my dad died 19 years ago, I can't sing along without crying.
Send in the Clowns by Judy Collins
This is another one from my childhood. My mother used to play it on the piano. When I was little I thought it was a happy song because it was about clowns. Now it just makes me sad.
Empty Chairs & Empty Tables by Les Miserables
This one pulls at your heart strings. But it's really watching what it does to E that makes me cry.

Classic Hepburn and Grant screwball comedy. The dialog is brilliant, the timing perfect, the house in Connecticut is to die for. I grew up wishing that I could be more like Susan Vance. She's smart, clever, funny, beautiful, has an amazing sense of adventure and certainly doesn't live a normal life.
This weekend I picked up a bunch of pale pink peonies from Trader Joe's.
They are just starting to open up. I have them in the kitchen, so I get to pass them fairly often. I can't help but stick my nose into the blooms and breathe deeply. They smell like June is suppose to smell.
My mother's house used to have 5-6 peony plants along the driveway. They'd topple over, their blooms were so big and heavy. Their scent takes me right back to soft, warm June evenings. The kind of evening where everything feels green and lush. The grass is baby soft under your feet. You can hear the crickets and frogs chirping at each other. It's the time of day where twilight seems to last forever. And you hate to go back inside.
I miss those Connecticut June nights.
