Lilacs

We now interrupt our planned coverage of our trip to Wyoming to bring these beautifull, springy photos of Marjie's yard when she returned home. While I'd like to supply you with "scratch & sniff" photos of my yard, you'll simply have to imagine the sweetest perfume you've ever encountered (unless, of course, you have a burning desire to scratch your monitor. Far be it from me to deprive you of your heart's desires.)

My earliest dogwood tree to bloom (several more will bloom in the next 2 weeks)

Pale purple lilacs (I have about 6 of these)

I love this dark purple lilac. It is the only one of its kind.

And did you know holly bushes flower in spring? We generally only think of them having those lovely red berries in wintertime!

Back to less green photos tomorrow.

Lovely! I bet your yards smells heavenly, too. I imagine the birds are coming back from their winter break and filling your yard with sounds of spring!
