Think of all your favorite fragrances and how blessed a person is to smell them!
The scent of lilacs is particularly magnificent to me.
One whiff of that flower transports me to childhood where fluffy, lavender flowers covered almost every inch of dozens of neighborhood lilac bushes.
Some bushes had deep purple lilacs and very few had pink or white flowers.
The fragrance, wafting through the spring air, intoxicated.
Fast forward a couple of decades, when the kids were little and money was non-existent.
Big bouquets of lilacs, placed in vases all through the house, made me feel like a queen.
Now, even more decades later, the sight and smell of lilacs still fill my heart with deepest joy.
Lovely lilacs are the best.
