We're a couple of weeks behind you regarding bloom-time (and last frost date), so I'll enjoy your lilacs right now . . . while I'm waiting for ours to appear.Kymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332895223302876006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087025136491626802.post-68866214627483742052021-04-29T05:25:08.750-07:002021-04-29T05:25:08.750-07:00My lilacs are opening too... and my backyard is ju...My lilacs are opening too... and my backyard is just so aromatic! And I have a sweet pair of Mourning Doves who graced our porch with a nest and an egg when we got home last week! The second egg has been laid and determined sitting has begun! I think of you as Sherman and I quietly sneak outside! That shawl... gorgeous!

But it will make someone very happy, and it can be a good thing to have a small person gift just waiting in the wings for when you need one! I have seen some lilacs starting to open along my walking route. We have lilac bushes along our driveway, but due to the work on the roof (we have a dumpster in the driveway right now), I haven't been able to look at them lately to see if there are any buds yet.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434256661615289001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087025136491626802.post-21386481569984228682021-04-28T19:32:03.203-07:002021-04-28T19:32:03.203-07:00Great post.

Our lilacs are slowly (very slowly) opening. Not enough yet to cut, but soon.

I am very happy to say it made it through our brutal, snowy winter. It isn't blooming yet, but I'm pretty sure it will.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170904251383218423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087025136491626802.post-21812641955310926872021-04-28T13:32:28.460-07:002021-04-28T13:32:28.460-07:00I guess these wild swings in temperature work out ...I guess these wild swings in temperature work out to a nice average! I had to come in from mowing in 90 degrees to cool down and get a drink. It's too hot too fast, but if it makes lilac buds pop that a plus. I can just imagine how lovely your Grandad's bouquets must have been, and with a wonderful scent. Your knitting is all lovely, too.Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.com
