If you haven't already guessed, I'll just say it. Loud and Proud.
I LOVE LILACS!!!
It's true. I love them. I was given a bouquet of them this morning from a co worker. I squealed and ran to put them in water, before something terrible happened to them. I love receiving them from children as well. It has to be my favorite gift ever!!!
Was there ever something that said, "I'm thinking about you right now" more clearly? I think not.
Thank you Leeeese, for the lilacs. And for making my inner bleeding heart shine. Man I hope J never reads this. Then he'll know my weakness.
Oh BTW, I LOOOOVE LILACS!!!!!!
Have a great day everyone!!!!

You're too funny Jo! We need to see each other face to face one of these days. Hopefully soon. Ta ta for now.
i love lilacs TOO!! I am partial to the purple ones, but will not discriminate against other colors... Wow, finally a Lilac Support Group!
I have to admit, I too am a lilac lover. Love the color, love the smell, love just about everything about them. I thought I was the only one...
I am also a lilac lover, since I was a little kid. I would love a yard FULL of them (I had to settle for two in the front yard...my hubby hates them).
I think I am going to put one in my back yard this year... will consult U on how it looks when its' done.. wanna help Crystal?
I too like lilacs except for the ones growing in my yard. I think they are about 100 years old and half of the bushes are dead. I was told that every bunch of years you have to cut lilac bushes right down to the ground if you want them to fill in nicely. That will be a big job at our house, I am surrounded by them. But as I look out my window, I see hardly any purple.
However lilacs remind me of funerals. I remember as a kid in elementary school there were a lot of lilac bushes in the cemetary. Kids would always climb the fence in the spring time to pick them to bring them to their teachers. I never took part in this practice as I can not climb fences. I have a very vivid memory of a couple of kids climbing the fence to get the lilacs in the middle of a burial. None of us thought this was strange at the time...but now as an adult seems pretty amusing!
