Lilac trees are beginning to bloom.
I see a lot of white and lilac buds on the branches, and I can already feel the wonderful scent.
"My lilac trees are old and tall;
I cannot reach their bloom at all.
They send their perfume over trees
And roof and streets, to find the bees."
- Lousie Driscoll, 1875 - 1957,
