“Purple Lilac Buds”
Heatherwood Spring
Our lilacs are getting ready to burst out into their spring bloom. I planted a row of lilacs along the north eastern part of our property about five years ago. The bushes were about 18 inches tall. The first year, each plant had only a couple of blossoms. Now they are over six feet tall and are laden with beautiful blooms. One of the things I enjoy the most about our garden is watching how plants grow and mature over time.
“Lacey and the Lilacs”
Heatherwood Spring
Our little friend, Lacey, loves to join us while we sit in our upper view point. She loves to explore the area around us. The water intrigues her. I just wait for her to plunge into the stream. She hasn’t gained enough courage yet. Birds are always flying about and settling on the small trees and waters edge. She is fascinated and tries to slowly sneak up on them. No such luck! Just watching her explore and play is entertainment as we enjoy the garden and countryside.
