Happy Memorial Day Weekend! They say it’s the unofficial beginning of summer. And that means more time outdoors– sunshine… And for some– gardens, pools and exquisite gardens. That is— if one has the land to accommodate all of that. Alas, I am in an apartment. And before that, I lived in a Townhouse. We had […]
Happy Spring! Spring means that the lilacs will soon be blooming in Ohio, the bushes outside my window are budding. I am obsessed with lilacs, the aroma of lilacs is like no other. They punctuate the spring air! After a long dreary sunless winter, the lilacs are smiles from Mother Nature! There is something about a lilac, the tiny flowers all so perfectly aligned, the colors of purples, pinks, white against the green leaves. Oh, I can't wait until they bloom! If you are lucky enough to live where lilacs bloom, stop and smell the lilacs!

Pink lilacs! I've seen white before, but not pink. It seems like the lilacs here are kind of late to bloom this year, or maybe I'm just remembering wrong? Anyway, they are just starting to come out. They are gorgeous. We've seen lots of huge bushes growing on street corners and by empty fields---obviously not being cared for, but flourishing anyway. We also went to Red Butte Gardens (perhaps the only good thing to come out of the U of U? Heh heh---just a little joke) and saw several different varieties of lilac. I loved seeing them all together---so many shades and variations! We also saw these interesting violets---they look like they were spattered with tiny drops of purple paint!
I remember staring at my screen for hours, calculating all pros and cons, wondering if my idea was crazy or genius.
