During the summer, take me sailing out on the Atlantic

[sovay]

There is a flowering lilac tree off the back porch. I think technically it may be in the neighbors' yard, but since I get the benefit of it from the kitchen window, I don't care.

I hope it's this sunny in New York. If not, we'll find something to do where it doesn't matter. But since I'm awake, it's nice light to have streaming into my office.

I spent yesterday more or less completely wiped out from my pleasant exertions of the days before and I had an unsatisfactory movie experience, but I'll deal with all of that when we get back. (There are worse things than unsatisfactory movie experiences. Anyway, I have been reading some very enjoyable books.)

Generally the theme here is: hey! Spring.

Lilac!!! *^^*

(I clearly need a lilacs icon.)

Spring! Whoo!

.....which for me in this apt means 'less rain to keep down the rubber tire dust from highway'and 'more tree splooge.' Altho they cut down a lot of the trees for condos.

Yay spring! (The weather in LA has rocketed straight to summer, but I think it's going to backtrack in a few days. At least we have flowering jacarandas.)

Yay spring! I hope you and Rush had excellent adventures.

I think when you can experience the scent of lilacs, you're rich. I mean, you may still be eating ramen noodles and looking under the couch for rent money, but for the moments you can breathe in that fragrance, you've got immeasurable wealth.

I like that way of looking at a lilac tree.

Lilacs! Possibly my very favorite flower, particularly of the scented ones. (Though magnolia and jasmine do put up a strong competition...)

I'm very jealous of yours, right next door like that.
