Lilacs, lilacs, lilacs. Butter and green peppers. Lovely.

One time when I was a kid, my dad cut a whole bunch of purple and white lilacs off the bushes in our backyard and put them in a big jumbled pile. He asked me to take them up the hill to my mom. I looked down and I’d somehow managed to pick up all the purples in one hand and all the whites in the other. It blew my little mind that this miracle had occurred.

Flavors: Butter, Green Bell Peppers, Lilac

What a lovely memory! Out lilacs are blooming now. I need to get out there and give them a big snoof!

I took them for granted as a little — would love to have them around again!

Lilacs already? J-e-a-l-o-u-s! That’s one thing from the farm I couldn’t preserve before we sold it … nowhere hospitable in our yard for cuttings to grow.

Gmathis: my butterfly rose is blooming and two of the turtles came out of hibernation a month earlier than usual!

Everybody’s like “What do you miss about Ohio?” Oh you know, thunderstorms, green summer grass and lightning bugs, autumn and apple picking, a slower pace of life AND LILACS.

Ugh, yasssssss! Who knew all grass wasn’t green and all balmy dusks didn’t blink? Not this kid.

Can I move to Ohio? It sounds like a place which I would to live in. Lilacs, autumn, apple picking and… THUNDERSTORMS. I love them.

Yes, even with all the rain we’ve had in California, I haven’t heard a lick of thunder. :(
