Mom’s chocolate stash uncovered, I’m going to hold the chocolate for ransom until I get my almond! Seriously mom, the kitchen linen drawer is NOT the place to hide anything that decadent… maybe try the livingroom behind the dusty books 🙂
Lilacs – My Spring Passion
For as l
ong as I can remember, lilacs have occupied a special place in my memories and appreciation of spring.
Growing up in the big city, I remember a bank of lilacs that bordered our backyard. There was a treasured swing set that was positioned parallel to the lilacs and to this very day, if I close my eyes, I can still feel myself swinging while smelling that intoxicating fragrance wafting through the warm spring breeze.
I have long since left childhood behind, but some memories, like those lilacs, remain imbedded in my mind as if I were once again swinging to and fro on that swing.
Lilacs are my spring flowering shrub, the one plant that I long to see, long to smell, and the one plant I couldn’t bear not seeing this time of year.
So in honour of this passion, I drove around Parry Sound last weekend, photographing some of the stands of lilacs that pepper the town.
I wish lilacs would bloom all season.

All decked out for spring
Wasn’t quite sure what I’d find underneath the tarp placed over the Muskoka chairs last fall, but all is good – no spiders, just a little bit of ice and snow. Can’t wait to enjoy some warm spring and hot summer daydreaming from the deck.
