Lilacs in the spring

'We'll gather lilacs in the spring again' was a very old sing that came into mind when I saw how much the lilac blossoms had opened on the tree in our garden in today's sunshine.

Seasons are wonderful in this country because they do come round annually with their distinctive features. Blossom, daffodils, lambs all indicate the arrival of spring and are symbols of the hope we remember at Easter.
