In love with lilacs

They are all gone now, but I enjoyed our lilacs this year so much. I just wanted to share them one more time!

We had a bountiful bloom this year. Probably from having several ice storms during the winter. I know lilacs like a hard freeze during winter to bloom well.

There's nothing quite like the beautiful scent of lilacs!

Here's a peek into my sketchbook from the last couple of weeks :

There's a lot of flowers and spring greens these days!

Calendulas

It seemed appropriate.  They are such a pretty, perky, happy little flower.  And quite helpful, too.
