Miss Kim Lilacs

   Our neighbor cut down a tree early this year and when it came down,

 even though we didn't see it happen, 

 a branch must have landed smack on top of the Miss Kim lilac bush.

  I found the spilt branch and disheveled bush a few days later. 

 On my "to- do list" was to get out the lopers

 and trim off the spilt branches. 

 That never happened.

So on Wednesday when I looked in the back yard,

 the whole bush laid heavy on the ground,

 unable to hold the weight of the full blossoms. 

 Time to trim.

 I never cut off whole branches of lilacs and bring them inside. 

 Just seems to selfish.

But I love the full look and seeing the lushness,

  and the fragrance. 

 Heavenly.

 So today ... 

just enjoy their majesty around the house.

And in the garden.
