Lilacs for May

In the long-ago past, when we lived in Penrose, there were some large, productive lilac bushes on our land,  where there had once been a home.  When the end of May came, there were wonderful sprays of lilacs to be cut, put in two-quart jars, and placed around the house.  How we loved the fragrance of those lilacs.  I was so pleased when some friends brought these lilacs early for my birthday - they bloomed early in Preston, so they were gone by actual birthday time, but we really enjoyed the wonderful, evocative fragrance for several days.

Birthday Flower Celebration

 Dorothy and Sara sent flowers for my 81st birthday.  Not only is the bouquet beautiful - it is very fragrant in a nice way.  We are really enjoying these beautiful posies.

The roses are beautiful!  Thank you dear daughters, for your thoughtful kindness.
