Yay!
Your lilacs are gorgeous. I love the white edging on each petal.
My lilacs are very plain and have not even started to bloom yet here is the Northeast.
As usual, love your weekly This and That post. Always fun to read.
Now I need to go bake some oatmeal cookies!
They are sensation lilacs. I am sad they are done blooming! Thank you for tuning in every week! We appreciate you being here!

Thanks! You too!
Your Mother’s Day Gift Guide was the best I have seen in years! I would love so many of the gifts and would like to gift them to a mother.
Thanks so much! I had fun putting it together!
