I enjoy writing about my memories of growing up in Danvers, Massachusetts. I began this weblog in 2007 in conjunction with the beginning of my series of monthly columns for the Danvers Herald. I have used the blog to post links to the published columns, and also to provide photos and supplementary information relevant to Danvers and my family. I invite comments from Danvers residents or others who have shared similar experiences.
I always think of my mother when I spot the first Lily-of-the-Valley flowers of the season. She loved the scent and the appearance of these flowers. Conveniently, they tended to arrive at the time of her birthday, May 5.
And today –right on time– I noticed this first one in our yard. I wish she could be here to see it!
