Ode To Spring

I'm a seasonal allergy sufferer. However, my season runs pretty much January through December. This time of year, in particular, is a real killer. With all the lovely blooms unfurling and the trees sending out their verdant new growth, I'm a weepy, snotty mess. Not a pretty picture. But, when my complete and total inattention to my garden (and I use that term oh-so-loosely) results in a glorious, heavenly-scented, multi-bloomed lilac bush, it's worth every last achoo! Those fragrant, delicate petals definitely make for a pretty picture. If only Blogger had a smell-o-vision widget.

  6. Two of my all time favorite blooms. Achoo. White lilacs are so beautiful and fragrant. Thanks for sharing.

    Your credenza/sideboard floats my boat. It is wonderful Nelya.

  10. I commiserate with you. If I don't take my medicine and my allergy eyedrops, I can't see due to the swelling red puffy eyeballs. But the smell out there right now, indeed is heavenly.
