Random lilacs and a linden tree.
My little village is looking quite green and flowery lately. The sheer amount of lilacs on our property is amazing. Keeping in mind that we have only 30 units on 35 acres there's plenty of opportunity for Spring to spring. Between the beginning of the linden tree summer aroma and the lilacs going outside is a fabulous experience. One just has to ignore the giant black flies and the pollen. Heh.
I've been tying together the random sprouting purple lilac branches outside one of my slider windows for the past three years and somehow appear to have done it correctly because what was a fragile flower is now getting quite robust. There was one drooping branch that the birds loved but a good wind would have been enough to take it down. Thus it got chopped which will probably save my windows the next time things get gusty around here. The top of the tree can be seen from the bay window in my bedroom so it's all lilacs all the time. Even the miniature purple bushes outside my front door are getting in on the act.
In closing, oh my do I love living here.
