The Late Lilac is almost past full bloom. It had more blooms than I thought it would.
It is a bright spot in the yard!
I mowed the yard yesterday, it looks pretty good again. Far Guy fired up Tilly and we went to town yesterday...just a couple of errands...a prescription and to the Farm Supply store for ant killer, grass seed and diatomaceous earth and a stop by the gas station to fuel her up!

The color of the lilac is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour shopping list tells me there is yard work being done. ;)
We reached that age when running errands counts as "going out" haven't we? We attended a college alumni social on Thursday, and then went for a drive out around the lake because Dave wanted to show me the new house his former boss built. And I used to laugh at my parents for taking drives - just to look at things. LOL
ReplyDeleteThose quick rides in an old car are a true vacation!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good day. FG seems to be feeling much better, that's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat is a late Lilac!
ReplyDeleteI imagine when You go to town in Tilly there are lots of admiring looks and comments!!
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought you just happened to have a lilac that was late but on looking it up I see that Late Lilac is actually a kind on its own. 💜
Very nice lilac
ReplyDeleteThe age of drives being a vacation - we are there, too. You enabled me to enjoy lilacs past their bloom season here in New York and I thank you for that.
ReplyDeleteI love lilacs and especially their scent! We have at least 7 lilac bushes that I have planted over the years, but ours usually are done blooming by June 1. I am sure that is a combination of weather in my location and the varieties I purchased.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty late lilac. I'm glad you went out for a drive. Dennis and I did the same thing. We actually drove around the area that was hit so bad by the tornado in April. It was the first time we've been there since the storm. We didn't want to be in the way of the clean up. It's just so sad.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
A ride in Tilly - fun, fun, fun!
ReplyDeleteGood Ole Tilly.....what a beautiful car. Love your lilac too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this pic of a late lilac bloomer. Precious! Dee
ReplyDeleteThe late bloomer is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteGlad FarGuy is feeling better.
I plan to buy my ant killers from now on. Sometimes homemade is just not better--lol! ;)
Luther cam and mowed yesterday and that is the 3rd or 4th time already. We had a nice wet Spring. I ordered some repellent for my plants and around the outside. Since the girls are gone I am getting all sorts of critters digging and chewing plants and wood railings. I hope it works.
