~ Thinking of Lilac Trees ~

I am thinking of the lilac-trees,

  That shook their purple plumes,

    And when the sash was open,

      Shed fragrance through the room.

 

      ~ Mrs. Anna S. Stephens, The Old Apple-Tree

With every leaf a miracle . . . and from this bush in the door-yard,

  With delicate-colour'd blossoms, and heart-shaped leaves of rich green

    A sprig with its flower, I break.

 

      ~Walt Whitman

 
HOW TO BE A CANADIAN (Even If You Already Are One) typical hilarious Cdn. humour book..a donut on the plate btw LOL

But, behold: shooting up above the low dilapidated eaves, the Lilac now laughed where the inconsolable willow had wept. Lightly it dropt upon the green roof the pink little bells from its bunched blossoms in place of the old willow’s yellowed leaves.

Nice lilac pics and words to go with them. And I don't think you need a book on how to be a Canuckian:)

the lilacs remind me of my growing up in Canada, we had them in our yard, and they looked and smelled beautiful, you knew spring and summer coming when they bloomed. My parents always kept beautiful gardens and passed the love of it to me :)
