I was hopeful, but no flowers came all year..This year more than made up for it though.
Being a first-time lilac tree owner, I’ve discovered that I had every right to be excited about this tree and that lilacs are awesome.. Lilacs give so much and ask for so little in return.As long as they get established, they pretty much keep to themselves and don’t really need anything from you..When lilacs are in bloom, your whole property smells like some remote corner of heaven and you almost have to say “Aaahhhhh!” every time you step out of your car.. It’s nearly impossible to get in a fight with anyone in your family when your house smells like lilacs.
It’s just a fact.. Lilacs aren’t fancy or snooty.You don’t need to clean up for them.
They’re comfortable in the middle of a formal dining room or just plunked down on your kitchen table with an overflowing laundry basket in the background.
Doesn’t matter to them.It must always involve corn!.
I tried hanging those lights up across the back of the room thinking it would just look like a disaster and the black plastickyness of the cord would clash with all the natural elements I had in mind.So I stood back and I looked.
It was obvious at that moment what was happening here:.The Fall fair was coming to my mud room!.
