I know, I know...it IS Spring.  And around here, a beautiful and pleasant one.  But I'm looking forward to NEXT Spring, because the boys and I planted 2 lilac bushes this afternoon. These are going to be monsters...the planting information said one may get to be 8 feet tall, and the other 10-12 feet tall.  Won't the smell be delicious?  The boys will be pleased, too, to see the fruits of their labors a year or so from now.

Too bad you live so far away, you could have a third bush by taking the one from my yard! They are pretty, but I'm very allergic and the smell just sets me into fits...It was with the house when we bought it and I've thought about digging it up, but it's so pretty.

We have a lilac bush that we planted when we moved into our house. I think it is still alive but it is really small.(It's only been less than a year : ) ) I love spring too.

I love lilac bushes too, they remind me of my childhood... ah, nostalgia...
We planted many more pine and spruce trees the other day and should get the rest in the ground this afternoon... then it's time to plant our lettuce and spinach, something we'll get to see the 'fruit' from this year!
Happy planting,
ali
