Hawthorn
Posted May 8, 2005
I went to plant some tomato plants in my garden today which my mum gave me. I've been avoiding my garden lately for various reasons. I suddenly became aware that the hawthorn tree, which appeared mysteriously in my garden ten years ago, was in full bloom. The musky slightly sour smell was quite overpowering and took me straight back to childhood, the way smells can. Then I started crying.
It is just so beautiful. Up close the individual flowers are white with pinky red borders. And there are bees and many insects bumbling about in the blossoms. From a little way away there is a vision of coral pink fronds swaying in the breeze. I presume it grew from a berry dropped by a bird. For the first five years I waited in eager anticipation to see what colour the blossom would be, the natural white or the dark pink bred variety; but when it finally first flowered around 5 or 6 years ago I was excited tto see it was a strange mixture of the wild and the domesticated, (a little like myself 
)
Anyway today it's there in all it's wondrous glory but I know very quickly the blossoms will begin to fade......

I'm not really sure h2g2 is for me. there's a cliqeiness that's beginning to irk. i find posting really difficult cos you often get misunderstood or ignored if you're not one of the in crowd. and I've never been someone that's part of the in crowd in my life.......maybe its my present mood? and then some jerk will read this and turn it on me in some thread..And these smiliies. Why do i find them just so silly?
