The scent of white lilacs...

 

Have you smelled them yet?  The sweet, intoxicating scent?  I have!   I cut me my first armful yesterday!

Then last night, when I went into the dark kitchen around 3am for a glass of water, I smelled them...  their fragrance filling my sleepy senses.  I remember smiling in the dark... then creeping back to bed (why was I "creeping?")

There are two scents I associate with Spring here in our Zone 4 garden:  lilacs and peonies.  One down; one to go.

 

OK, so it's my second post this week about lilacs...  I'm a bit addicted.

Happy White Wednesday!  I'm linking up to Faded Charm Cottage today.

Oh my! I just adore Lilacs! There was a bush between our backyard and our neighbors when we lived in Ohio - they don't do well here in Georgia -the next best thing for me is the Southern Magnolia -
heavenly or the Tea Olive -delicious!
But, sure do miss the Lilac!
