Lilacs In Bloom
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

Lilacs lush in gay profusion,
Perfuming air with scent of spring.
Hues of pink, mauves, white and purple,
They sway in breeze as robins sing.

Lilacs bloom in all their glory,
In the months of May and June.
All is new with fresh beginnings,
As Mother Nature hums in tune.

(does happy dance) Oh my gosh, lilacs are one of my favorite flowers, I just love how their scent can enchant a whole neighborhood, yay! (kiss on cheek) Ever since I was Mistletoe Cherub, I always loved to pick a few lilacs and give them to my mom as she loves them too, yay! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend, I'm sure the bumblebees are also be-bopping over this one, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah ~

I love lilacs beyond words! I am like one giant walking lilac myself! I wear them in my hair. I mist myself and my bed linens with the scent of lilacs. I fill my house up with fresh-cut lilacs. I wear mauves in May. I write poems about lilacs. I light lilac-scented candles. I even eat lilacs!

Their scent is Heavenly! ~ truly!

Love & Lilacs,
Linda

Where on this blue planet have you been? I was about to send my angel posse out looking for you! It was good to hear from you and to know that you are alive and kicking!

Oh, my gosh! No lilacs in Florida? I guess I'll never be moving to the orange state! ~ but then again, picking an orange right off a tree sounds mighty appealing as well! lol

Love & Lilacs ~ and oranges!

SG, is that truly you! You have been conspicuous by your absence ~ which has been far too long this time for my liking!

I hope all is going well for you! I have been thinking of you!

Love & Lilacs ~ and a great big welcome back hug!
