Purple and White

And lavender, too!  I wish I could send the scent of these photos to everyone who looks at them! The lilacs have been blooming for nearly three weeks here.

Usually, they only last about a week.

All my lilacs are covered with blooms, which is surprising to me since we've had so very little rain.

Only the white lilacs seemed to have a hard time producing blooms, but the blooms they did make were huge! 

I leave the windows open all day so at night the house still holds the strong scent of lilacs.  It makes for a wonderful night's sleep...
