The little Lilac that could…proof that my Lilac bush survived the winter and is blooming. Pardon the long grass in the photo. That’s the kind of thing I normally take care of with the clippers. But I’m not home, as you know. I’m just happy to see the blossoms. If only photos came with a scent feature!
Please check back to follow the conversation!
the monogram is a nice touch
Yeah! I love lilacs. I planted new bushes in the fall too. One bloomed a couple weeks ago. The scent was light but heavenly. Just think how much bigger they’ll be next year!!
i loooooove lilacs. their scent is one of my most favorite smells. i pulled over while driving the other day because i spotted a bush that looked like it wasn’t part of a lot and grabbed a small branch. this year i must plant a bush of my own. they’re the best!
okay, kiddies are asleep. time to watch the (taped) office and 30 rock!

That is beautiful!! What a great picture, that would be heavenly if we could actually smell them too. lol Have a great day!

I miss Lilacs so much!!! We have crepe myrtles but they are no where near as lovely and they don’t smell nice at all.
Hope you and Don are having fun.
Love and miss you,

Hey Claudia
I also have a lilac bush and tree. My tree bloomed in the spring, and again in late fall. What’s up with that? I thought I won the lottery.
As for TJ. I used to shop there all the time while living in AZ…they were fairly new. I loved it also. Canada has 0, none. I think the closest would be in the State of N.Y. So I guess if I drove about 8 hours I would find one. lol
Have a grand time with hubby. oh and I don’t think you talk too much.
Love Claudie

Beautiful and one of my favs. Off to catch up, it’s been too long since I’ve visited with you. Happy weekend!

What beautiful lilacs! Are they easy to grow? Maybe I should plant some at Jacaranda Cottage too. I’m not a gardener, but I do appreciate a beautiful garden when I see one! Wishing you a wonderful weekend sweetie!

Oh, that’s such a pretty color! I have a double white lilac bush (and I say bush with tongue-in-cheek)… Every spring it blooms with about 3 lilacs! I have no idea why, but this year it has many more – maybe 10 or so! It’s a scraggly little thing that I planted over 20 years ago, so even though it doesn’t bloom much I have a soft spot for it!
I hope your plays are going great and that you’re having a blast with hubby in town!!… Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage
Hi Claudia!
Doesn’t it just give you hope? I love those little seasonal miracles!! Lilacs are so vintagey great.
When I lived in the trailer there was a bush outside and one of my first efforts was to paint them on a pillow!
love, kelee
