Yes?<br /><br />The lilacs have been breathtaking. If I pass a bush while I'm out walking, I always stop to inhale the fragrance. It's one of those things you wish you could take with you. Is there anything as beautiful, as transporting, as spring?Glamour Girlhttp://www.baltimorestyle.com/index.php/style/glamour_girl/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-50322862430003999912010-04-22T10:12:52.124-04:002010-04-22T10:12:52.124-04:00The lilacs are gorgeous.....there is nothing quite...The lilacs are gorgeous.....there is nothing quite as beautiful as an East Coast Spring.

It also seems into the groundwater better than rain, which runs off more quickly. Finally, it insulates, so underneath,the soil only gets so cold and no more. Anyway, they are beautiful photos, and you guys certainly deserve a great spring.balsamfirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347379810451503618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-82521617700500497882010-04-21T12:35:48.355-04:002010-04-21T12:35:48.355-04:00I was thinking the same thing, about how nice the ...I was thinking the same thing, about how nice the spring is, and how well the azaleas, seem to be doing after the difficult winter.
