Our Lilac is blooming.
It has more blooms than it had last year...some are in bud yet. It needs a good trim after it has bloomed.
I cleaned the floor in the Desoto garage yesterday...Far Guy had Tilly out so she could get a new exhaust system. I think perhaps she is ready for the summer now...except she has bug marks from the trip that need to be polished away. I thought maybe she was so shiny and slick that the bugs would just slip off...well that did not happen.

Hah! Bug juice seems to always find its way to the front of any vehicle!
The lilacs look beautiful. I sure do love their scent. We don't have any bushes right here.
We are in an elevated fire danger here today! No rain in nearly 3 weeks and the humidity will be 10% this afternoon. Yikes.
I like the sweet smell of the lilacs. We don't have any around our place now. Karen
That lilac bush is a pretty color. Tilly sure gets the royal treatment!
I love the smell of lilacs. We had lovely lilacs at our previous house when we first moved in. There was one big "thicket" of them, with a big hollow area in the middle where my girls would play. It was their secret fort they said.
Our first house in Spokane had a HUGE lilac tree. It was actually a tree, not bush, it was so big. I do miss that scent, it was heavenly. I laughed at the image of the bugs sliding off the car while desperately trying to hold on the the antenna, wipers, anything. :-)

I do so enjoy lilac bushes. I've no room for one in my yard but luckily one of the neighbours has one nearby, along with an apple tree that is in full bloom too.
If it isn't bugs, it's elm seeds around here. My son's car is covered with the latter.
Interesting that my lilacs were finished about a week ago. I thought they'd be on the same time schedule.
Yards are so much work. Yours is just darn LOVELY!
That's a pretty color, we are past lilac time. Those bugs didn't get the memo!
Flying bugs and pooping birds have no respect for clean shiny cars.
Love the smell of lilacs! :)
Your lilac is beautiful!
My Bloomerang lilac had tonnes of flowers, but they didn't last very long. That might be because of the heat wave we had. I look forward to next year when all three of my lilacs should bloom!
That lilac looks like the one I had when I lived in Riverton. It always bloomed in June well after the traditional lilacs.the bush did not sucker like so many other lilacs.
Our lilacs are done. I am glad to see yours.
Syringa x prestonia ‘Donald Wyman’ I believe that is the name of the lilac
Sounds like fun times ahead with Tilly this summer.
Love your lilacs....they're such a pretty color. Wish I could smell them from here!
How nice that Tilly is all set for the summer!
My Mom loved a scent of talcum powder called Lilacs and Roses. Lilacs have become one of my favorite flower. Ours were done with blooming a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed you extending our season.
I don't miss the old place much but I did have so many nice lilac bushes. Yours is a great color.
The color of the flowers on your lilac are just gorgeous!!
