Your post reminds me of the wonderful time of year in our old home town, Malmö, when school was coming to an end, and we all went to "studentfest", the celebrating of successful exams, happy parties ahead of university studies the following autumn. We used to wander home in the early hours listening to the blackbirds and smelling the lilac fragrance.

I love Lilacs too :) I have two bushes in my yard secretly maturing year by year, seeming to ease and slowly adjust my husband's allergies into acceptance (if that makes any sense LOL!). Had I been able to plan a big and fancy wedding 11 years ago May 30th, instead of the quickly put together one which was perfect in and of itself, and had my husband not been so allergic to them, I would have had lilacs as my flower of choice. And even if I couldn't have the flowers themselves, the bridesmaid's dresses would have reflected their beautiful coloring. :) Maybe if we have a vow renewal someday, I will get them yet! Have a wonderful day Zuzanna! :)adrielleroyalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330513833416071176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-39491169262603003722011-06-04T18:59:03.643+02:002011-06-04T18:59:03.643+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.adrielleroyalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330513833416071176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-89572882290854337442011-06-03T23:15:37.071+02:002011-06-03T23:15:37.071+02:00So lovely,stay happy !So lovely,stay happy !bright starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682079332831035081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-70143156221983317182011-06-03T22:54:23.644+02:002011-06-03T22:54:23.644+02:00I agree...lilacs are one of the best smelling flow...I agree...lilacs are one of the best smelling flowers there is!
