I was looking at your photo of your sweet little garden and thinking about what a special touch you put on EVERYTHING you do from drawings to crochet, to gardening...everything. Such an artful eye. It was what first drew me to your blog so long ago. <br /><br />I love lilacs too. We used to have a big bush of them in our backyard of the house that got knocked down a while back. I've tried to plant them at our current home, but the soil does not seem to be very good for them so I gave up. Daffodils and tulips seem to do well though.<br /><br />I love that you are loving Seattle.

I alway leave with a happy sigh and a smile on my face!! When I was growing up I lived with my grandparents off and on until I graduated high school. My grandma had lilac trees and hydrangea bushes all over their back yards. I say yards because they owned a whole quarter of a block 3 streets up from the Seattle Center. So we had lilacs first all through the two houses and then the hydrangeas when they started to bloom. When ever I see either one I think of my grandparents and it's like getting a big warm hug. Thanks for the wonderful memories this morning!! xxooHeartwideopenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960012544570566313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903542526482295642.post-81263596528264680772013-04-28T05:43:10.616-07:002013-04-28T05:43:10.616-07:00Such gorgeous photos my friend.
