I thought that sounded like a pretty neat idea.
This year more than made up for it though.Being a first-time lilac tree owner, I’ve discovered that I had every right to be excited about this tree and that lilacs are awesome.. Lilacs give so much and ask for so little in return.
As long as they get established, they pretty much keep to themselves and don’t really need anything from you..When lilacs are in bloom, your whole property smells like some remote corner of heaven and you almost have to say “Aaahhhhh!” every time you step out of your car.. It’s nearly impossible to get in a fight with anyone in your family when your house smells like lilacs.It’s just a fact.. Lilacs aren’t fancy or snooty.
You don’t need to clean up for them.They’re comfortable in the middle of a formal dining room or just plunked down on your kitchen table with an overflowing laundry basket in the background.
Doesn’t matter to them.
They’ll give you all the cheeriness they have to give either way.. See?I’m a little in love with this orange ribbon this year..
This little wreath just seems to get recycled for every season now.It just always looks good..
I threw some fun plaid picnic blankets into a basket, just in case we need them when we set up on the grass and eat all of that delicious junk food.. We get the best fresh apple cider at our fair so I had to include a little reference to that too..This old stirrup is always hanging on the wall here, but it’s fitting, don’t ya think?.
