It's this time of year that mimosa trees bloom here in the South and other places as well. Along many of the sidewalks that I walk the Schnauzer pups each night are mimosas. I am compelled to stop and smell the pink and white blossoms because it takes me instantly back to my grandparents' house in Landis. They had several around their yard and I grew up climbing them.
I read one time that of all the senses, the sense of smell triggers memory the fastest. I believe this. It's this time of year that mimosa trees bloom here in the South and other places as well. Along many of the sidewalks that I walk the Schnauzer pups each night are mimosas. I am compelled to stop and smell the pink and white blossoms because it takes me instantly back to my grandparents' house in Landis. They had several around their yard and I grew up climbing them. I think most folks consider them "trash trees" as they usually aren't planted, but just spring up. They are very fast growing trees, can be aggressive growers, quite invasive, and will reach a height upwards of 30 feet. I would love to have one in my yard despite their bad reputation. Happy Thursday from my hometown full of mimosas that trigger sweet memories! Thanks for stopping by for your Postcard!
