Up the road, afternoon.

May blossom, hawthorn flowers, like all the flowering trees and shrubs, seems particularly luxuriant this year. Its perfume is something like a pungent almond essence, or tinned cherry pie filling.

Don't look at hawthorne for too long. History tells us that it could lead to more than 30 words.
