I've been eyeing the little lilac bushes from afar and just hadn't gone in the back yard to pick the pretty blooms. That is, until just now. What a waste to not bring a couple in to fill the room with that beautiful bouquet. When we were moving from Virginia, mom rooted me a couple of sprouts from her lilac bushes. I'm so happy she did. I really didn't have time to do any digging when we sold her house. Now I have a piece of home right here in our back yard.
Pretty little arrangement.
While I was out, I spied a robin digging for worms. I snapped a few pictures of him by the willow tree. The first one, I captured him although he still is kind of hard to see in the right hand corner.
Then, I took this, trying to get a better shot. ha. Didn't even get close to the ground! I don't know about these contacts. lol. Think I will definitely keep them for the beach, but that's about it. I'm spending way too much time pulling the reading glasses off my head in order to function. Ugh. I can't even "think" in thee things. They make me all warpy.
It's hard for me to tell what is in focus and what's not. Sorry.

I love lilacs, and I love knowing the provenance of plants in your garden - carrying on pieces from your Mom's garden is lovely. I won't have lilacs this year, as mine just got an over-enthusiastic hard pruning. Next year, maybe it will be back.
I adore lilacs! ☺
oh see! (not a play on words) i wrote a comment in your last post first so i didn't realize you were feeling all headachey and blurry! my contacts are the worst at all of this. i wear two completely different prescriptions for each eye and that is supposed to make me see half as good in each and almost as good if i open them both up. ridiculous. the best i have done is to wear the contacts at the beach as you said and then i have a pair of sunglasses that correct the alternate corrections so i can see perfectly with those on!! doesn't all that make a world of sense!
and the lilacs well they are simply beautiful and having them from your mom's house makes them all that much better. do they have a lovely scent? one of mine does and one doesn't. the scent of lilacs is of course intoxicating.
p.s. i don't know what is wrong with me. i am posting as though i am writing a book. sorry dear.
I miss lilacs. We had a bush right outside my bedroom window when I was a kid. They scent has always captivated me. They were just the same color as yours, too. Gorgeous!!
