Almost Lilacs

lilac blooms

I get almost as excited over flower buds as I do about the actual blooms. I think it’s the anticipation. My lilac bush is almost ready to burst into bloom. I love lilacs, and I have a perfect view of the top of the tree, and the beautiful blooms from my bedroom window.

I was really concerned my lilac wouldn’t recover from the ice storm this winter, it was almost bent in half. It’s looking good, we had to trim a few branches here and there but it survived fairly well.

I guess you know I’ll be back in a day or two with more lilac photos.
