I know I'm not making sense, but I absorbed your words because they describe how I yearn to "live in the moment"...I know that's a bit of a cliché now, but it's something I work at. <br /><br />Your pictures are beautiful. I was looking at the lilacs at our nursery the other day. I would love to plant a few. Maybe this is the year.<br /><br />The custard looks lovely.

I love lilacs - and never heard of lilac syrup! I have made various sauces and baked with lavender but never lilac. Is it delicious?

Th[is] is the only way I know it. Is there any other way?” - this is how I feel when I see photos that sing to me. It's as if the top of my head were taken off and I can finally breathe.<br /><br />Sylvia, you are a master. I am learning myself how to get the effect I want, the mood I seek to take the top of my head off! It takes so much practice, but the results are stunning. <br /><br />I was just speaking to our beloved Irina yesterday, and she mentioned something about NATURE. Your words meld with hers, reminding me that nature is the place I return to when the world gets too muddled with a colorless background. Nature's colors bring me back to where I want to be, and your photos are lush in texture, the texture of these lovely flowers. <br /><br />WOW. This is a great way to start my day.<br /><br />MUCH LOVE!

That morning<br />I'd snipped away the last<br />and freshest looking one and<br />stuck it in a jam jar, then tucked<br />it in the fridge until right before<br />we headed for the airport. They<br />don't have lilacs where she's in<br />school, so it was a tiny surprise<br />for her to find beside her bed<br />that night : ) I inhale the fragrant<br />lilac and am five years old, again.<br />You've captured that feeling so<br />beautifully, as well as my own<br />longings to love all the sweet<br />details of this life fiercely! As<br />a matter of fact, I just posted<br />on that very subject, so we are,<br />indeed, on the same wavelength!<br /><br />Have a beautiful weekend. <br />Wishing you many more lilac<br />moments to come!<br /><br />xo SuzannePrivet and Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384567378252265965noreply@blogger.com
