What May showers brought
You’ve heard me gripe about all the rainy days we’ve had of late.
You won’t hear me complain about these beauties that have finally emerged.
Lilacs, May 2008
I haven’t downloaded a single photo from my college reunion yet, but I can tell you that:
A) It was wonderful.
B) I had the best of both worlds, because H&W came with Dad for a brief visit to meet some of the far-flung friends, and then went home.
C) The sun came out and stayed out.
D) I saw wonderful friends of a lifetime that live way too far away.
E) Henry ended up in his first time out after all. (I wasn’t there to see it, but apparently 30 seconds on the Naughty Step netted a sheepish and remorseful “sorrrrrrrry!”)
And, I came home to this view:
It’s good to be home.

Spring is here!
Wow, I can practically smell the lilacs through the photos!
Glad you had a good time at your reunion! π
Beautiful! I always love shots of flowers π
So jealous of your lilac…Mine are over and done with, and I am still clinging to hope that my very sad Charlie Brownesque yellow one will take off one day. However, the front is overrun with lilly of the valley so I guess I’ll be OK
Lilacs are my favorite! What gorgeous pictures of them. Glad to hear it was a great weekend!
Those flowers are gorgeous — I can almost smell them from here, they look so great!
Those are soo pretty! LOVE them – LOL our April showers decided to come in May, we need life rafts over here π
Ahhh, tis beautiful indeed! But what’s even more beautiful is your pefect weekend.
GORGEOUS photos – and what a fantastic weekend, too!
Oh, I just love the flowers. Such beauty!
Beautiful shots! Spring is starting to emerge here, too, and the flowers are so pretty to see after such a long winter and cold spring.
Glad you had fun at your reunion – sounds like it was a lot of fun!
My college had a reunion last weekend too, but not for my class year. I guess a lot of schools do that, with the whole graduation thing and whatnot.
The photos, as always, are gorgeous!
We had our first time out this week! π Sounds like you had a wonderful time with your college friends! Can’t wait to see the photos!
Oh and of course, beautiful flowers!
I adore lilacs and those pictures are beautiful, thank you for sharing them with us.
what gorgeous flowers! i love spring
Connecticut is in full bloom right now, too, and it’s wonderful (aside from my seasonal allergies that are throwing a party in my nose this week). Enjoy this weather!!
You, like your friend Martha, will have to come to Rochester in May for the lilac festival. I am longing for lilacs and have stolen them out of yards near our apartment. I have no shame, it’s survival. Beautiful pictures!
