Like most new homeowners I've waited to see what treasures will blossom in the yard now that the weather is warming. In this regard I've hit the jackpot~ Lilacs - 5 bushes burst into bloom about a week ago. Their fragrance is evident anywhere within 10 feet and double that if you're down wind.
My grandmother had a lilac bush - one of the very tall ones with the deep purple blossoms. Each spring the yard around her house would come alive with the Lilacs, Peony, and Bridal Veil. A perfect combination that mixes with springtime pollen for that unmistakable look and feel of spring.
Bleary red eyes, that special raw look around the nose that no make-up can repair, and conversation peppered with a good sneeze or two.
Ah, Spring! Ah, Nature!! Ah AH CHOO!
