Lilacs, lots and lots of lilacs

| No Comments

We are back from a fun trip to Minnesota - the wedding shower for Alicia Ruth was lovely, Caitlin's law school graduation was quite wonderful, and being with Liz and Marshall on Sunday and Monday was so nice too! 

One thing stood out during our Minnesota driving and that is the presence of thousands of gorgeous lilac bushes of white and all shades pink and purple.  There are rows of them planted along all of the Twin Cities freeways, and on almost every home property between there and New Ulm.  I could't help but want to stop the car, get out, and just sit near enough to enjoy the fragrance and beauty of this springtime spectacle!

Back here in our yard the daisies and peonies are in full bloom, and even some lily of the valley hangers-on.  Roses are ready to open, and so many more flowers will follow right along.  Springtime, I love it!!
