Six years ago, when my sister Nanniepannie,and I were looking for a house to buy and share,
it was this time of year--
and the lilacs were blooming.
We found Buttermilk Cottage and it had good bones.However, it did have some drawbacks.
Despite the fact the kitchen needed to be
totally gutted,
...the lilacs were blooming.
Despite the fact, a full bathroom needed to be added to the ground floor (my space)....
...the lilacs were blooming.
Despite the fact I would need to add a room
for my office/sewing room...
...the lilacs were blooming.
There happened to be a huge
lilac bush, in full bloom (and scent)
on the side of the house.
I really think that bush put a spell on us!
But, we've cherished it each year at this time, when it's dressed to the hilt,
and we whisper a little "thank you."
(This is the view from my entry windows.)
How could you not have a lovely weekend...
...the lilacs are blooming!
