I *LOVE* this time of the year. The Jacarandas are back in full bloom. Most of them anyway...except the ones confused by the "June gloom" when it's only supposed to be "May gray."

"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." -Winston Churchill
Socialism is idealism married to the state, which always descends into tyranny.
"Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest." - Mohandas Gandhi, an Autobiography, page 446.
"The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men." - Winston Churchill

Oh, I LOVED it when the jacarandas bloomed...although I can't complain. My lilac trees (yes, trees, due to prior owner neglect) are in bloom, so on Sunday, along with breakfast in bed, I got a huge vase of them. Apparently the beloved was out at 7 am on a ladder hacking away. (Whatta guy!)
You bet..at least yours smell nice too....mine just look pretty. Spring is absolutely my fav. time of the year....especially the 6 weeks or so (if that!) that the Jacs are in all their glory...if you blink you miss them!
I love to walk outside this time of year--there is almost always the smell of blossoms in the air. My lilac's are almost ready to bloom--I can't wait to cut some for inside the house.
My magnolia just did its thing. There were lots of them in Seattle, so when we moved back here we found that there were some varities that could stand MN, along the lines of mosquitoes and DFLers. I've had lilacs all my life, but not currently in my yard. The neighbor has a tree that hangs way over into our yard so I do get the experience anyway!
