the lilacs are finally here.
they are my favorite.
thank goodness there are many wild bushes of them where i can gather and bring them home. i picked up some purple while my mom was visiting, then the other night i stopped and brought home a handful of white ones. i fear all the rains may make for a shorter life than normal for them. maybe i need to go gather some more.
i took a walk in the woods by my home last weekend. the wild lily of the valley were pushing up. no blooms that day, but soon. so so soon. then i will be gathering them by the handfuls. oh they smell divine.

Seeing your lilacs remind me of my mom. She would have huge bouquets of them throughout our house. She died of cancer when I was 15, she was 31. I think I can smell them....
i think lilacs must smell like heaven....
I am so jealous,its already so hot down here that flowers that should be blooming are just dying off , I do have your lovely lilac shot tho in my bedroom to view all the time :)
wildflowers! where i live we have lupine which is a beautiful blue with a musky, sweet scent, and our state flower {the california poppy} that's a vibrant orange. while they're everywhere with even the smallest amount of open space, if i drive 45 minutes east i can reach countryside with fields of flowers as far as the eye can see. this year i'm going to make a point of making the drive.
