We need smell-o-vision here! On my walk down to the canal I pass a small lilac tree in someone's garden. At this time of year it is glorious, with lush clusters of blossom and the most heavenly scent. I've sometimes wondered whether to knock on the door of the house and beg a few sprigs... but I'm not bold enough! I do enjoy it though, stopping to inhale the fragrance as I pass.
I like it especially because it reminds me of the little white lilac tree in the garden of my childhood home. White ones don't tend to be quite as strongly scented but I still loved that scrappy little tree. I've even managed to dig out an old photo of me standing in front of it. I guess I was about twelve at the time. Nostalgia!
You look pretty.
ReplyDeleteLilac perfume in the air is a favorite part of Spring.

I don't know that I've ever smelled lilac, besides the perfume variety. But it sure is pretty. I loved your young self posed so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou looked a lovely little girl.
ReplyDeleteThere are many lilacs in the gardens around here, and I stop to smell them this time of year when I walk along. One in particular is wafting its scent all the way from a neighbour's garden into my kitchen when I have the window open - wonderful! But I guess I'd find it too intense indoors.
Those are beauties. I can only imagine the glorious scent.
ReplyDeleteLilacs are so beautiful. I love the picture of you!
