The Lilacs Waited




When I left home over a week ago, the bank of lilacs in the backyard was loaded with tight little purple buds.










They're late this year like everything else this cool and windy spring. But I choose to think they know what joy they bring to me. So they waited to unfurl their fragrant glory until I was home.






I brought some in.
