Summer Hill

The fragrance of a memory
From childhood long ago
I’m brought back
To a fenced in backyard
Crayola blue sky
Burnt umber ground
Islands of green and yellow grass
The scent of Summer Hill wafts 
As the unseen is revealed
A dream remembered then forgotten
You say it didn't happen
I recollect the aroma that says it did

I know this sensation - my grandmothers yard from oh so long ago. The is so distinctive that the memories flood back when detected. Thank you - those are very happy thoughts for me.
