I always associate lilac time around the birthdays of both our mothers.
Today the back yard is filled with the romantic fragrance of lilacs. Sweet fragrance of lilacs reminds me of a grade school program. "Fifty Nifty United States". I was Miss New Hampshire and I had to wear something that represented the state. Lilac is their state flower so we pinned lilacs in my hair. I'm in the back row with pony tails, always a head taller than my classmates. And to this day I can sing and name every state of our Union in alphabetical order!

What a fun childhood memory. You always could sing the 50 states song and I've always been jealous of that skill. I don't even think I can say them from start to finish.
