One of
my favorite ways to chase away the winter blues is to think spring.
And
when I think spring I think about lilacs.
When I
was growing up in the Poconos
we had
access to some beautiful mature lilac bushes.
Each
May, we would fill up every vase, bucket, and container that we had with
flowers
and
the entire house would smell like a dream for a week.
Those
were good times.
Of
course we only had one variety.
At the
Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, they have many different kinds.
And they
all smell wonderful!
Hang
in there.
