I Forgive You, Spring

I can forget all the mean things I said about spring yesterday as long as the sun is shining and the lilacs are in bloom.

And the lilacs are most definitely in bloom right now:

I would just like to note that I took these photos with the maimed camera. It soldiers on, despite its busted screen. A lesson in bravery and perseverance for us all.

Looks lovely. Mr Chiots loves lilacs, I however can't stand the smell (strongly scented flowers give me a headache). I don't have any in the garden and I certainly can't have any in the house, but I do enjoy looking at them in photos and from a great distance.

Lovely - I can imagine the scent! Our lilacs are just starting to open up. It is a great part of springtime.

My neighbors just TORE OUT THEIR LILAC BUSH! What is wrong with these people? At least I salvaged a few of the blooms. Your are gorgeous and I bet they smell like heaven.

I'm the most jealous RIGHT NOW because I love lilacs with a devotion just this side of insane.

I can almost smell your foyer from here.

NICE.
