I think you'd be doing it a favor cutting some bouquets to save them from the weather! Actually, I suppose you could go over and ask the guy if he's mind if you cut a few. He probably wouldn't care.

What a contrast to 95 and fires, although today was cool, cloudy, and lovely. A blessed relief for the firefighters. Lilacs are so lovely.

We have just a little bush and it has very small blooms not even worth whacking them off when they are blooming. We had snow last week, covered all the tree limbs and ground for the morning. It had not been warm enough yet for anything to bud so it did not hurt anything. The past 3 or 4 day finally spring has hit. I always love seeing your pretty table.

There is a reason my flowers look puny in comparison - I always use what is fresh from the garden. I guess it doesn't pay to compare because you don't always know the whole story.<br /><br />I hope your weather takes a turn toward spring and you get your homegrown daisies in the house. Can you ask the bachelor if you can cut some of his lilacs?

The weather has been the pits and I don't think my lilacs are going to bloom. I did get a few days to enjoy my magnolia, the crab apple was blooming and I lost a limb out of it because of the wind. I always loved the smell of the lilacs. Your flowers are so pretty and I would just go asked him if he minded if I cut some of his lilacs. Most of them won't mind at all. Have a wonderful afternoon and I hope some warmer weather.
