Ask me about the smell of musty canvas and diesel some day. *Saunters off into the sunset*Constance Brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964121072645959593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30980619.post-90029987052596818692017-06-05T09:23:07.891-06:002017-06-05T09:23:07.891-06:00What a beautiful piece of writing about those lila...What a beautiful piece of writing about those lilacs!

Here we have very protracted springs and Autumns and there have been seasonal flowers this year all the way through from January 'til now with the hedges heavy with hawthorn and its scent. Now the rhododendrons are out and roses are starting to bloom. Of course we do get a lot of rain, and it's mostly cool. Also now we have the long evenings -- light until 10:30pm light Oonahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03017273972774480939noreply@blogger.com
