Was out in the yard yesterday and earlier this morning. I see the Lilacs are trying to bloom very soon. They usually bloom in early to mid April. Not much longer now. I was afraid the weather had gotten the best of them. But looks...

I mentioned my mom's ongoing affectionate nighttime wish 'Lilacs on Your Pillow' in a post on Mylot recently. The question of where she might have found it came up. I really have no idea but did do some checking.
I thought this...

There’s nothing like lilac time
when May comes around
everywhere that purple madness abounds
blossoms bursting forth in colors of lilac and purple
a purple fantasy for sure
mixed in with some pink and white
everywhere you look...

The joy of seeing,
the first buds –
on the apple trees.
Smelling the earth coming alive,
the sun warm upon your face -
slowing your pace.
It’s spring, glorious spring,
days are warmer, longer,
people friendlier.
Time to lay...

All lilacs are beautiful, I think, whether they are the deep purple ones or the lighter colors. When we saw this one, called California Lilac," it was the shape of the flower that we liked, and oh, alright, maybe the name as...

It finally is feeling like spring here in Connecticut. I walked around my yard to get a look at what was in bloom and came across my lilac bushes. I have two, one is white and one is purple. The scent is divine.
While I was over...

There are no good sidewalks where I live now, so I walked on the grass or on the streets, which are somewhat uneven at the edges.
That is okay though.
There are all kinds of phlox blooming, and red bud trees. I saw lots of...

May comes and with it
brings what I call
lilac fantasy
as the apple blossoms
and the blooming cherry trees
have their petals
caught by the wind
whirled away
lilacs lovely lilacs
now bursting forth
in colors of pink, purple and...

Yes it has been really nice here for March in Minnesota. No snow fell this month at all which I think is a record actually. In my 36 years here I can not recall no snow ever in March. Anyhow, things are popping up all over the...

When I was younger I would pick a big bunch of lilacs for my Grandmother or my Mother and bring them to them to put on the table. The scent of them was heavenly. As a child I can also recall picking the flowers one by one and...
