It's a sultry day here for May~warm, breezy, & humid~thunderstorms this morning, but now sunny~ so I went out to do some gardening & cut some lilacs. I had to get some pictures because I love all the purple, blue, & violet colors ...
And lilacs are probably my favorite flower of all. My lilac bush was taken from part of my late grandmother's before her house was sold; dug up for me by my dad. Grandma's lilac bush had moved with her at least three times over her married life. Sadly her huge old bush was chopped down by the new homeowners, so I feel very fortunate that a bit of it lives on for me to enjoy.
I cut a bouquet for the kitchen...
...and they smell heavenly!
