Lilac No-Show

How disappointing is this? The unusual progression of spring with its up and down temps took its toll on the lilac blooms. There were maybe half the buds compared to other years, and very few opened at all. 

A slightly blurry closeup of the unopened buds taken while the wind blew.
Even more pitiful compared to last year's profuse showing! The lilac's bloom is so fleeting and the first real sign of spring in my yard so it was sorely missed. Sigh. Who knows what will transpire between now and when they next bloom. Other than winter.
