The lilacs are in bloom all over the city here. This morning I picked a small bunch of them while on a walk and am now enjoying their wonderful smell in our bedroom. Then this afternoon we walked through a very large experimental farm in Ottawa, where among other things they had a very fragrant arboretum full of lilac bushes. Here I am with Barbara Green, the prettier half of the couple we are staying with (Bill and Barbara Green), in front of a particularly beautiful lilac bush with deep purple blooms.
For me, lilacs always bring back memories of my childhood growing up in Yakima, because spring meant lilacs and there were lots of them, including a couple of large bushes in our own yard.
