You can smell their fragrance from the mouse-house windows.
My granny's lilac bush is over 85 years old according to my older brother. He remembers it as a child, full grown and full of fragrance. It stands at the entrance to our drive-way filling the air with it's beautiful fragrance.
I remember Sunday dinners here in the old clap-board house in early June. My grandmother would tell us to grab some lilacs on our way out so we could enjoy them in our own homes. My mom would fill a vase and place them on our dining-room table to enjoy.
We had a busy weekend with family visiting and helping with seeding the garden. Since I did not have a photo of my brother Joe and his better half, Joyce, they posed for me in front of the old lilac bush with a pot of his favorite pansies. Next time, I'll get him to take his hat off.

And to our surprise, we found a white lilac bush caught up between two maples that we will try hard to rescue.
We were here on this property last May, too, and I took lots of photos of the lilacs.
And my all-time favorite lilac photo.
Our dear, sweet Sierra enjoying her treat of milk next to the lilacs.

She will always be in my heart.
