Apple Blossom Memories

 

Sometimes looking at a painting evokes childhood memories.

That's exactly what happened at a church's large indoor yard sale last Friday.

Spotted was a painted tree in full pink bloom. It looked like it was covered with apple blossoms.

When I was a little girl, there was an apple tree in our backyard, right over a swing set. 

The fragrance of those apple blossoms defied description. 

The air filled with glorious scent that could make my head spin as I swung through the air without a care in the world.

So when I saw the pink blossoms, a nearby pathway, and a fence-of-sorts in the painting, the scene touched my heart.

The artist, whoever he or she was, did a splendid job.

I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the price was only 50 cents!

Holy smokers.  All that work and loveliness for almost no payment?  Sold!

A string taped on the back made the painting ready to be hung since previously there was no hanging mechanism attached. 

Now it just needs a place to hang so that's today's mini-challenge.

The little apple blossom painting that took me on a visit to happy childhood memories is now worth more than a million bucks!
