The lilac tree is blooming outside my house... I love this time of year. The fragrance meets me at the door and it brightens my mood day or night. The tree only blooms for a couple of weeks and then the purple is gone... the fragrance is gone. What is left is the green leaves and branches. For a few years I didn't even know it was a lilac tree and would miss the blooming seasons because I was not paying attention to a treasure right in front of my face for weeks. In fact I didn't even realize it was a lilac tree until a few years ago when I was in the Arboretum and noticed the lilac trees looked like the "ugly tree in front of my house". A week after I realized the similarity, the tree bloomed and then I went back to the Arboretum and was amazed how much I didn't pay attention to what was right in front of me for years. That season I realized that I love Lilacs and now every year I get excited waiting for the bloom!
Happy Spring!
