Lilac Lullabye
In late April-early May, the thoughts of every native Kentuckian turn back home. And some years, some of us are fortunate enough actually to get there. We made it this spring, at the peak of dogwood season. There were lambs all over the hill at cousin Ben Ardery’s farm between Paris and Cynthiana, and in his guest bedroom (featured here lavenderly, in the fall of 2006) there was another human flower feat. Branches from the three varieties of lilacs blooming in Ben’s yard stood in a crystal vase, a welcome and the sweetest lullabye any traveler could hope for. What an antidote for nostalgia! You CAN go home again. So go. It’s better than you remembered.
