Stop and Smell the Lilacs
The Lilacs are still blooming. I finally have a few in my garden. Otherwise, we've had to just stop and enjoy them on the dog walk in other people's yards.
The farmhouse where I grew up had a gi-normous stand of lilacs. It was so big, the dogs had trails running through this lilac forest. It was like a kingdom unto itself. It was a great place to play, hide out, read, imagine ...
When I was learning to ride my bike as a kid, I started out on the grass lawn. I remember not knowing how to control the steering very well, then. I drove right into the lilac bushes. Ouch!
