Spring Fever

Just a quick note to say all is well, I've just been busy.  I was away this weekend visiting family, having a lovely time.  Hope to get back in the sewing room today and work on my Blogger Girls BOM blocks for this month!

My neighbor's lilac bush has just started to bloom, and is it ever pretty.  Last year I was so blown away by it that I purchased a little bush at my local garden center and was thrilled to see that it is leafing out.  No blossoms on my little bush, but hopefully there will be some eventually.

  1. Oh, we’ve had more snow in the last three days. Those lilacs look lovely. I can’t wait for my neighbor’s lilacs to start blooming. (of course, Spring means the onset of yard work, but it will be worth it.)

  7. What lovely lilacs are in the picture you posted! I hope you new lilac bush provides you with such pretty blooms. We have lovely lilacs, too, but they’re not blooming yet.
    We also have 4″ of snow that surprised us yesterday afternoon. Today more snow is falling and yesterday’s snow is melting at the same time.
    I’m glad you had such a delightful weekend with family!
    Hugs!

  13. We got snow AGAIN on Saturday and last night, I’m not sure we’re every going to have spring. I have a large dwarf lilac that’s many years old and it’s just beautiful when it blooms, and smells wonderful – bring on SPRING!

  17. I am SO jealous – we have snow predicted for tonight – I fear I won’t see lilacs at all this year! Lilacs are the NH state flower and my best recollection from any friends who have planted bushes is that it takes a year or 2 (depending on the bushes’ mood) to decide to bloom – and then they make up for lost time!

  19. Lilacs are at Memorial Day in Minneapolis. We still have snowbanks; the sun is working mightily to melt them, but the thermometer isn’t helping.

  21. Lilacs are my favorite flower! When they are in bloom and the windows are open, the whole house benefits. Thanks for sharing.
