lilacs

By Lorraine

 The sweet fragrance of lilac fills the air and it reminds me of the joy and blessing of friendship!
 It’s been a perfect couple of days after some very heavy rain this week.
The grass is green, the trees are blooming and it is really spring!
 It is also Raider’s birthday
 I think he is feeling his 11 years
 a quick selfie before heading out for another full day of yard work
my boy

    I dream of lilacs, and so you have no idea as to how much I enjoyed this post. Your lawn looks so pretty! One can tell you two work hard at making it all look so well manicured. As for the selfie, I am still smiling at you two doing that. With my imagination, I can almost smell that lilacs. Thank you!

    Your Lilacs are stunning. I can almost smell their beautiful fragrance here… It will be a few weeks yet before ours bloom. Everything is so late because of the continuing cold weather…It was 40 this morning!!

    Thanks so much for your visit and wish Raider a Happy Birthday!!!

    Hugs,
    Deb

    The weather has been beautiful here too, and hard to stay inside. Thank you for the lovely photos, especially of your gorgeous lilacs! How I miss having them down here in the south!

    Enjoy your day out in the garden! There's nothing quite as nice as a day at home – no plans – just you and your fella and a happy, lazing dog puttering in the yard.
    Our lilacs are still just buds – we need some sunshine of the non-liquid variety before they'll pop into bloom.
