For The Love Of Lilacs

Scratch and Sniff

Lilacs. My favorite flower. The fragrance has been filling the air here. G says it's intoxicating. I wholeheartedly agree.

When I came to look at our little cottage (Yes, I.  Garrett was at work, and we ended up making an offer on this place without him even having seen it.........but that's another story altogether), one of the first things I noticed were the lilacs. Plenty of lilacs. The weren't in bloom, but I knew what they were right away.   

Now, every year at this time we are treated to a most beautiful display, one which I gather up and bring indoors. To fill a house with bouquets of lilacs is surely something to relish.  And we do.

I only wish you could smell them through the computer.



 



I wish you something just as sweet, filling your senses today.

Have a great Monday in your corner of the world, and I'll do the same.

Ciao for now,

  2. I love liliacs, probably my favorite flowers and the smell is amazing, not to mention the fact that they look amazing. When I was a litttle girl my grandmother had a lot of liliac trees in her garden and I remember how great everything smelled.

  4. Oh, so so pretty! I love lilacs as well. Whenever I get a bouquet from the farmers market, I always put a flower or two near my workspace. :)
