Lilacs

I picked these lilacs today for You guys in Blog Land.Don't you just love fresh flowers? My kitchen smells so great with the lilac scent.The weather Upstate, NY. has been so unpredictable.I didn't dare go to my fave nursery and buy any perennials as of yet.Believe it or not ,I have a Black thumb. My Children joke about it.When Mother's Day rolls around. The kids ask me what I would like for myself. Again, I say flowers.They Laugh and comment," Mom you will kill it!" Ha, Ha! So, they are right.I still try, try my best.To the extent of going to Lowe's and buying off the discounted rack. It's comical but, true.Can't wait till they ask me this year. I think I''ll say a Landscaper! Enjoy the weekend doing something you enjoy.
Hugs,Liz

Collecting Vintage Books

Every time I pass a Book Sale I have to Stop. I think Books not only supply us with a wealth of information. Every Book can stand the test of time. The illustrations, print, copyright is amazing to the eye.Just think, in the 1800's I wonder what book was on the best seller list? So, next time you see signs for a Book Sale. STOP! Gaze for awhile. You never know what you will find at the very bottom of the pile.

I was never allowed to read the popular American children's books of my day because, as my Mother said, the children spoke bad English without the Author's knowing it.
