Blooming!

Just three days of warmish weather (like low 70's) and we have blooms all over the place. Even the grass is blooming:

That is our front field, where the part Andy has not already cut is about 2.5 fee tall. Today he made a maze in it and we had races through the maze. Now how many weirdos do you know who do that kind of silly stuff? Hopefully in a couple of days it will all be cut down. I love it long, but Andy really feels best with it short. Here is a place where the wife can submit. I mean, it's just field grass, right? Besides, the blooms in the grass have him really stuffy and congested this year, so getting it all knocked down will be good for him.

And, at long last, the lilacs are starting to bloom. Throw in a clear sky sunset with the glow bouncing off the clusters of fushia, and this is what you get:

So, how'd you like those blooms?

omg, those blooms are fantastic! Our lilacs typically bloom in mid-May so they're gone already, but I love that season. We have our annual Lilac Fest which conveniently falls on Mother's Day weekend so it's a great day all around.

And I would LOVE a maze for the kids to play in! But my husband has a heart attack anytime the grass grows higher than an inch so I don't think a maze is in our future.
