Fragrant Beauty

We are having a beautiful week here in the NW, our forecast shows sun for the whole week. When we have weather like this you see everyone out and about soaking up as much as they can. I love driving around town seeing all of the beautiful yards and porches with flowers blooming everywhere. The lilacs are one of my favorites! I have always been fond of them. We had one in our backyard at our house in California but unfortunately it didn't get enough sun so it hardly bloomed. There are so many different shades of purple and some white and that sweet fragrance, oh I love that smell! One of my co-workers has a huge lilac bush in his yard and we where talking about them and I was saying how much I enjoyed them and that I would pay him for a couple clippings, he brought me some in and told me to enjoy :) how nice was that? My office smelled so good today and now I am enjoying them at home. I am excited that this weekend we are going to go to the Lilac Festival, this is the last week for it until next year so I am glad that I found out in time for us to go.

It amazes me the beauty that is all around that God created for us to enjoy.When I am driving home I am always taking it all in, it never seems to get old.

Take time to smell the posies and enjoy the beauty around you!!!

Have a blessed week!!!
