I never smelled perfume so sweet as today when I smelled crab apple flowers and lilac today I am a bee and at last I know why there is honey and why it is good to be a bee

If I were to name this day, I'd call it mauve.  Not because this is the first day the lilacs come out, but because it's the day all of the lilacs came out. Friday would have been pink, because of the prunus, or flowering cherry trees. And I would have called Monday white, not because the moon was full, but because of the flowering crab apple, which, unlike the cherry, does betoken fruit.
