1st yummymemory

First yummymemory....

i am in a stroller going down a hill on a concrete sidewalk. 
 I see pink cherry blossoms sprayed against a robin egg blue sky. 
many cherry trees line the street. the lawns are limey green. 
 i then see that we approach a man who is on a red ladder up against one of the trees.  He is up in the blossoms with a small saw. 
he wears dark jeans that are turned up at the cuffs and a blue shirt.
 we stop and I look up. 
the sun is in my eyes and the blossoms glitter shades of pinkness in the sunlight.  
i turn to look at who is pushing me. 
 i look beyond the chrome sides of the stroller and the blue webbed material. 
i lift my chubby hand up and see my light blue wool sleeve.  
the sun is in my eyes and i get a glimpse of my grandpa wood.  
he has white hair, a broad grin, and looks at me with a laugh.  
i feel safe and loved, and feel love for my grandpa.  
we turn and go up the hill as i look at the spray of pinkness against clouds, blue and brightness.


what is your first yummymemory?  i'd like to know!
