Small things that make me smile. Cutting stems off my own lilac bush. Planting these bushes was one of the first things we did when we moved into our home. When I was little, all the way up until she passed at 96 years young, I would cut lilacs off my Grannie’s bushes with her.

I know she’d be so proud of us and where we are today. 💜
