When The White Lilacs Bloom Again ...

[MissHoneychurch]

(OK, the lilac is purple ... but still :) )

... and the storcks are out and clattering



... and a peacock is showing off




... spring is here :D

1. "Wenn der weisse Flieder wieder blüht...." that wonderful song about white lilac

in bloom is now stuck in my head.
Thank you for making me "home"sick. Lilac and a stork, that will really do it.

I planted lilac here in my yard, and this year (3years later) it is BLOOMING.
Thank you Miss Honeychurch.

These are a sight for sore eyes to me. The peacock photo is well framed and startling because I just don't get to see that myself.
Happy Spring!

2. In case you want to listen to the song again

You just HAVE to post a picture of your own lilac!!!

That peacock kept screaming. Took us a while to find him. He was high up in the building.



Do you see him?

3. I should be at work, but now I'm singing and taking photos of lilac for you.

I played the song of course, and immediately thought of the Comedian Harmonists as I heard it, and when it was over, that's who came on.
You're making my morning.
What a magnificent building that is! It can't be a wild peacock? Is it? I know so little.

Here's my young lilac tree

And it smells divine, next year I'll cut bouquets for myself



The plant, now 6 feet tall - after being a 5 dollar sprig 3 years ago

4. How nice

looks like it was a great deal :) Even though I didn't know it took lilacs so long to grow.

I took the pictures in an open air museum, so the peacock is probably not too wild.

5. I love! love! love! lilacs!!! I will lean in and just soak up the scent.

Nice shots! I got some shots of the lilacs at Luisenpark the other day. (in between sniffing)

I'm leaving Germany soon. Hubby took a new job and it requires a move back to the states. We were moving to Ansbach but he decided on another job, so.... :(

I'm very sad about it. I adore living here. The people, the places, the food, the pace...everything. I just fit right in....and now. :(

Germany is wonderful. It's been my home for a long time now and I would gladly call it home for the rest of my life if I could. Who knows...maybe we'll come back to retire.

9. Those lilacs are just beautiful!

Spring is late here, so no lilacs yet.

But daffodils are popping out - finally!
