Lilacs

The Garden is beginning to flourish, the bulbs are blooming and the lilacs are beautiful.  This bouquet is made of lilacs from the four bushes (which is now three--one up and died on me) and callas from another bouquet that Phil gave me.  I loved how this looked all together and is smelled wonderful.  I'm glad I took this picture.  Because several hours later I came into the dining room to find my curious little boy standing on the table over the flowers with all callas in both hand and one in his mouth!  YUMMM!  I was so startled I said "RYAN !"  probably more sharply than I should have.   He looked at me with his sweet eyes as if to say "What?"  Immediately knowing I was not happy with him chewing my flowers he tried to put them back into the vase.  The really interesting part was that Anne and Katie were sitting at the table reading, and when I asked why they had not tried to stop him their response was: "Ryan was on the table?"   What do you say to that???

See how peaceful and idyllic my home is.  (ha ha ha)  You notice I did not point the camera in the other direction!
