Lilac

The lilac has finally bloomed and the fragrance is heavenly.  It is truly my favorite in the yard.  There are two bushes in the front that, at one time, were taller than the house and just as wide.  However, due to age, drought and disease, a heavy pruning saved their lives but reduced the size considerably.

The fragrance and beauty of the little purple flowers are still beyond compare to me.  I dedicate this post to the awesomeness that is MY lilac.
