We lived in New Hampshire for a few years when I was a kid. Every spring after the snow finally melted, the lilac bush in our backyard would bloom. Lilacs must need that cold winter because you rarely see them here in southern California. In fact, I've only seen lilacs in a store once. Until today. Today they had some at Trader Joe's. They were grown in California and smell just as wonderful as I remember. Aren't they lovely?
