Melancholy Lilac

This takes me back to the farmhouse where I grew up. Faded memories of lilacs and mom.Melancholy Lilac, Keeping With the Times

I’m swooning over that window. Yes, it’s a sweet little prop …

… and the flowers are glorious this year.

    I like the chipped paint of the window and the edit goes with the feel of what you were going for.

    exactly. the wisconsin farmhouse where i grew up. picking lilacs for my mother – who sadly was allergic to them, but put up with the bouquets from little girls as long as she could stand them. :)

    Your lilacs are beautiful, Barb.
    We had none this year. :-(
    I am guessing it had something to do with the historically cold winter we had.

    One of my favs in the springtime and yours are such a deep purple. Love them and love your captures of them!! None of my bushes on the side of the garage bloomed this year, must have been the bad, bad winter!!
