Lilacs remind me of living at my maternal grandparents farm with siblings and my mom when my dad was in the Navy and out to sea for months at a time. Grandma would often put the bed sheets on top of the lilac bushes after they had dried on the clothesline.
It has been so long since I enjoyed the sweet fragrance of a Lilac. They were a favorite from when we lived in Alaska. Late or on time, how wonderful to get to enjoy yours!
The lilac is beautiful even though it seems like only a token of what could have been. I saw people's lilac as i drove around town this spring. There are not that many around anymore. I am sure the people at my old home place have enjoyed the half dozen of them that I had planted.
