Lilac Blooms in Palatine.

In just 46 days on March 20, it will be the first day of spring.

It means longer days, peeks at the first tulips and daffodils, and warmer sun on our skin.

Although we have to wait a little bit longer for the lilacs to perfume the neighborhoods, I can't wait.

Nature gives us beautiful things to look forward to with each new season.Her spring reruns are always welcome after a long,cold winter. 

I'm dreaming of that day when I walk out the door and the rows of lilac bushes along the side of the house are in full bloom. I will plant myself on the swing and close my eyes, and take it all in as winter becomes but a memory once again.
