When I was a kid we lived for a brief time with my grandparents. It was after cross country move and it was only for a few weeks while we waited for our furniture and belongings to arrive. But those few weeks were wonderful to me. They had a front porch with 4 steps leading up to the front door. Right next to the porch was a giant lilac bush. In the spring that bush would bloom with hundreds of lilacs.
I loved that bush. The color was perfect for a little girl. Hello! Purple! Next to pink, it is perfect color for a little girl. I would take scissors and cut off blooms and put them in jelly jars. There would be lilacs all over the house. I guess it is a good thing that the bushes were so big, because at the rate I cut those blooms off, it would have been a very bald bush.
Nothing takes me back to my childhood more than the scent of lilacs.
