Everything's coming up lilacs

Is there anything more heavenly than the scent of lilacs? My two lilac bushes are blooming profusely. Here's a few blooms...




and my niece, Savannah, and family were visiting this weekend - no matter how many times I tried, at different angles, she wouldn't open her eyes for the pic. Isn't she a doll?



Also a pic of lilac glasses and tray for sale on my website.


Have a wonderful, lilac-y day!
