Lilac Time (For Hal)

Despite the coldness of this May, the lilac tree has bloomed as beautifully as ever, producing enough gentle froth to take a cutting or two for the house.

I planted this tree in memory of my darling Dad. When I was a little girl, I was gifted the patch of garden next to the lilac tree to plant as I wished. I don't have many memories of having to work too hard and weed my wee patch - I realise now I probably had a lot of help without knowing it :) Thanks Dad. x
