A Thousand Words
By Jock Lauterer
Each spring, with the daffodils comes a Lillie. Lillie Mozelle Pratt, that is. It just wouldn’t be spring on Franklin Street without “the last of the flower ladies,†as Lillie calls herself. I began buying February daffodils from “Miz Pratt†back in 1966, so her claim rings true. She is celebrated now with a new greeting card painted by Brenda Behr of Behr Rabbit Studio, on sale for $5 at Charles House’s University Florist on Franklin Street, right across from Lillie’s post in front of the Bank of America. The proceeds from the sales of the cards go to help support Lillie, who will be turning 83 this spring.
