Isn't this a wonderful sight to have right outside my window?! I look forward to this every year too!
I have to admit that I feel a little bad about it though. My parents planted the lilac bush when they lived here and I get to enjoy it every year. It makes me think of the passage in Ecclesiastes that talks about a man working and another reaping the benefits.
Although I am sure my parents would say it was worth it in order for their daughter and her family to get so much pleasure out of it. It is does bring a lot of pleasure. Few things bring me as much joy as smelling sweet lilac blossoms.
