The lilacs, like everything else, are a little late this year. Today is Lilac Sunday at the Arnold Arboretum, but as I prefer to avoid crowds, I planned a visit for yesterday instead. I invited everyone and anyone to come along, but the only ones who were able to make it were Peg, Ken, and Ken's sister Carol. The rain ended, the sun eventually came out, and the lilacs were glorious!









My favorites, the deep purple lilacs, weren't quite ready to bloom yet. But there were plenty of lilac, pink, and white blooms perfuming the air with their intoxicating scent.

There were lots of other lovelies as well. You can click the arrows on the pix to scroll through the lot of them!

I love lilacs--while they're in bloom I run around smelling each one that I run across.

I was afraid we wouldn't have them at all for the weekend. My neighbor's are still buds.
