I probably should have Twittered this...
...but I'm starved for content.
There is a lilac bush just outside the dining room window.
We planted it about ten years ago and, because we are assholes, we ignored the fact that our yard HAS NO SUN.
We live in a cave, people, but we don't let this deter us - oh no, we buy sun loving plants ALL THE TIME, plant them in our dark dark yard and watch them die. Then? We pretend to be shocked.
As this particular lilac bush is ten years old, it has grown to the height of the second floor. It has never bloomed. But this year, at the very tippy top, there are 17 (my special number) lilac flowers just outside my bathroom window.
And, just now, just this minute, whilst researching recipes for tonight's chicken, the gentle scent of lilac has drifted into the dining room where I am sitting.
It is a tiny bit of heaven.

I love the scent of lilacs and they've been particularly wonderful this spring.
And how can you be starved for content if you've posted three times today?
Oh no. Wait. That's the scent of my dogwoods wafting in the front window. :)
I can't imagine a better view from a bathroom window than 17 blossoms.

hope is the last one to die and I often fidn myself using it.
