Spring!!!

Well, Spring has sprung here in NY. Finally!! We were scraping ice off the windshields just a bit over a week ago, had a few Spring like days, then got hit with a blast of August weather(in the 90's) and today we are back to early Spring! Between yesterday and today the temp dropped almost 30 degrees!! Can you believe that?!?! Many of the trees have bloomed and the leaves are appearing. Yesterday, at work, the maintenance director cut a bouquet of lilacs from the back of the property and put them on the front desk where I sit. Oh the fragrance! It takes me back to when I was a little girl and we visited the Lilac Festival in Rochester, NY with my great-grandfather. My memory is of course the fragrance, but also of Great Grandpa John and I walking hand in hand, with me in my little dress and GG wearing his suit and fedora. I love lilacs!!
