Not Dead, but Sleeping

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


    Blossomless and brown
       yet full of purple promise
    lilacs bide their time

  1. I love lilacs, but they just won't bloom here, except for one rather odd one this year.

  2. Love Lilacs! The Goatmother has them planted all around the house and it smells so good when they bloom. Great when it drifts down this way and covers up that barn smell. :) She had one in California, but it never bloomed. They must need the cold weather.
