I couldn't believe when I walked out the door this weekend and found lilacs blooming in the garden! An early bloomer in spring, it had really faded in the hot days of August. With the cool down this week and very little rain, here they decide to bloom again! Planted by my Grandma Frank, these fragrant, old fashioned beauties bring back memories of picking them as a girl to put in a vase in the kitchen. Their sweet fragrance filled the downstairs! Though I am busy, I HAD to take time out from gardening to paint Grandma's lilacs that are actually blooming in August! When a few more open, I'll bring them inside to cherish those special summer lilacs. Painting number 3884 in 3884 days.
