Welcome to Saturday Sparks 619!
Starting off todays party with a sweet surprise!
I came home the other day to a lovely spray of lilacs that DH had cut for me.
After all these years together, we know each other so well.
He knows I prefer wildflowers over more formal bouquets and that lilacs are by far my favorite cut flower.
Our house is filled with its intoxicating scent and my heart is filled with gratitude.

I have been encouraging three plants for about six years now and have gotten some nice blooms this year. I'll keep on trying. thanks so much for the feature for "on the Road". m It was a fun start to our trip to my neice's wedding. Have a great week.
