Emily came and surprised me a few days ago with a long awaited sign of Spring.

And I must say, it smells glorious. After she picked the first lilac, we grabbed the scissors and snipped several more and brought them indoors, where the fragrance from the pretty vase continues to fill our kitchen.
I can't tell you how happy I am that Spring has finally arrived. It was a long time comin' this year.
That's for sure.
Someone must have snitched that I was looking for her, because there for awhile I thought I was going to have to go kick Mother Nature's ass.
