Have you ever smelled anything as lovely as lilacs in bloom?  

 

We walked in the park yesterday and were surprised by all the changes in the last week.  The lilacs were just budding up then, and now they are in full bloom.  There are purple ones and white ones, and if you can believe this:  they each smell a little different.  Can't help myself, I have to stick my nose right in there and get the full experience.   

 

Our friends from farther north know exactly what I mean:  lilacs are a joy.  

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
