Apple blossoms and lilacs.

It sure smells nice in the Ro-cha-cha area these days.

Don't forget the Lilac Festival this week! http://www.lilacfestival.com/

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
:woohoo: :woohoo:

Or is that after I mow the lawn?
:woohoo:

:hi:
:hug:

It's part of the payment. ;)

Last time I went I would have been... 5 or so? It's been a while.

I just remember that being the first time I ever tried white hot dogs.

goes until next weekend. We may try to go this weekend, but I'm not one for crowds.

I love the smell of Lilac blossoming.

It has to be one of my favorite smells.

All the trees make it look like a very private retreat; like a "secret garden".

I freaked when the house was built behind us, but over the years the trees has made it barely visible. I covet my 'space', I really do.

I don't want to hijack Barenakedlady's thread; I just have to have some lilacs by Sunday to give to my sister and mine don't look ready to pop for another 4-5 days. Would cutting some branches and putting them in water help? Any info would be appreciated.

I love apple blossoms. My parents hd an apple tree when I was a kid that I just loved. They had to cut it down when I was in my 30s, and it broke my heart.

Yellow and reds. I don't spray so the edible ones are few, but plenty nonetheless. The rest are eaten by the deer.

and we'd have to beware of drunken yellowjackets.

Both are very beautiful. Thank you!! :-)

Come on over and chill on the deck with me. Cocktails at 6, 7, 8, and whenever. ;)

Not unlike you. :*

That reminds me, I wonder if my secret lilac bush in the woods is blooming. I love that smell!

:hi:

I don't have any quite blooming just yet. I have three immature bushes that aren't really producing much yet. I see some buds so maybe in a couple of weeks.

Forsythia, early bulbs, and some sort of thing I have been told is a tulip tree but I am not sure. Lovely, whatever it may be! :D

Then there is the mess when they drop the flowers. Heh.

x( all the time about that.

:D

Welcome to spring finally. You're a couple of months late. We're into summer already down here. It's 95 here today.

We are into early spring here. Not quite ready to plant the tomatoes in the garden, but soon.

I hope I water enough, because if they die, I'll never hear the end of it.

Lovely, BNL!

It does smell nice round these parts lately, doesn't it? Our neighbors have several apple and pear trees on the border of our properties--they smell heavenly!

We, alas, have a decimated yard with nothing nice to speak of (thanks, previous owners, for trashing the place), but I've informed Mr. MG that for Mother's Day, I demand shrubberies! I want to go to the Public Market and see if they've got some apple trees, then go to the festival and pick up some lilacs.

I haven't been to the Lilac Festival in years--got sick of the commercialization--and the crowds--but MG Jr. hasn't ever seen it, so I'm thinking of taking him during the week when the pace is more leisurely.

Enjoy our spring (finally) even if it is too phking cold still! :hi:

I took this earlier tonight. They are quite fragrant already.

That sounds like an awesome event!!

Phoebe Snow and The Marshall Tucker Band!!!

All MUSIC - All DAYS - All FREE!! :woohoo:

380 mi – (about 6 hours drive?) @ $3.65 a gal. @ approx. 33 MPG = ? :(

It can't be a 6 hr drive from MA!!

I went to BC for grad school. I know the drive well--TOO well. But come on out anyway! It's quite the party!

and with gas costs... maybe will cost me about $50.00? and then a motel room
which may be hard to get one at this late date...thinking. I'll check my mail.
Maybe I got a card for Mom's Day with some $ in it! :P But it's to short of a
notice to get there tomorrow to see The Marshall Tucker Band @ 7:00PM

I'd invite you to stay with us, but our house is ripped to shreds--major remodeling--hardly welcoming, even for us!
