I have always loved lilacs. I think they have been my favorite thing about spring since I was ten. This year is especially exciting because I am getting to watch my very own lilacs bloom. My nose is tingling to smell their sweet sent! My husband bought me four plants last year to plant in our new flower bed and I have been overjoyed to watch their pretty little flowers develop and change in these last few weeks. It truly is a dream come true to have a backyard where I can sit on my swing and watch the lilacs bloom.
