There are many things for which I am known, but having a green thumb is not one of them. (For those of you who are wondering about last year's much-loved lavender plant, it's dead. I forgot to bring it in for the winter.)When you love plants and flowers but aren't really good at keeping them alive, you tend to appreciate the "automatic" ones even more.
I have a few lilac bushes in my backyard and they are beginning to bloom. Their season is so short that I bring large bunches of them into the house, to enjoy them as much as possible.
So here is a picture of my lilacs for you to enjoy.
It has been a wonderful weekend. Yesterday, I managed to visit a wonderful store called The White Lotus, in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. Unfortunately it was fifteen minutes before closing when I arrived there, but I enjoyed what time I had. They had a wonderful variety of things -- I especially enjoyed looking at the stones and drums -- and seemed to carry a lot of organic/holistic items as well. I hope to go back and visit someday, when I have more time and money. (I did manage to bring home a tiny brass bell, a couple of smudge bundles and a wonderful incense stick burner. I prefer to use cones, but you can't always get the scents you need in cones.)
I love living where I do, but I really wish I didn't have to go to another province in order to visit such a store. Sometimes a pointy-hatted girl just wants to be able to browse.
