Thank you ((Muffy)). My condolences to you too. It's hard to lose them so close together like that. It made it difficult to grieve properly, and felt overwhelming at times. I'm sure you felt the same way.

Yes, I look forward to watching my lilac bushes spring back to life. It was always something to look forward to during the longest months of winter. The spring breeze combined with the sweet aroma of lilac smells so good through the window.
