Our Lilac bush is in bloom and the smell is intoxicating! We have enjoyed it's beauty and scent for 20 years now & even though the blooms this year are sparse (only half bloomed) it is still beautiful.
Usually for the few weeks it is in bloom, I have enough blooms to bring indoors & place in vases.
Today, I couldn't resist and clipped off one lilac blossom & placed it in my favourite vase ( a rummage sale find) as I do this time every year .
And that one little bloom has brightened & scented the entire kitchen :-)
I want to have a little house

I want to have a little housewith sunlight on the floor.
A chimney with a rosy hearth
and lilacs by the door.
With windows looking east and west
and a crooked apple tree.
And room beside the garden fence
for hollyhocks to be!

Morning Deb,
I bet your lilacs smell wonderful and they are gorgeous! I have thought about planting a lilac bush. My grandmother used to have one and it smelled so GOOD. Enjoy yours.♥
Hi Deb! I’m so happy you will be joining me for the Where Blogger’s Create party this year!
I think it’s going to be great fun and probably bigger than last year!
Jo is offering some great prizes isn’t she??? I’ll be in touch!!
