I do have a softer side
Just to prove that I do have a softer side, I’m writing a post about one of my favorite flowers, the lilac.
I’d rather write more about gardening, but that just doesn’t translate into blog traffic.
I’m making my blog a little prettier to prove that no, I’m not a man, even if my humor is quite masculine.
Just the smell of lilacs remind me of my grandmother, who used to take me over to her mother’s house to pick a whole bunch every spring. I’ve planted them in my yard so that I can be reminded of her every spring.
Unfortunately, blogs about flowers and grandmothers who have passed away aren’t very exciting, funny, or even that interesting. I’d rather tell you all about her, but I’d also like you to keep coming back to visit.
I’m sure you’re also not interested in the fact that I tried french toast flavored coffee today from Bruegger’s Bagel Bakery here in town for the first time. It tastes exactly how it sounds and it wasn’t good. I thought it was funny so I ordered one. You only live once, right?
So, this blog isn’t full of lilacs and grandmothers and cute pictures of my cats, but I do try to amuse you as best as I can.
Now I just have to get them stop growing over into my neighbor’s yard instead of into my own yard where I want them. They get so pretty in the spring, giant bushes, and then they bend over the fence into my neighbor’s yard leaving me all alone.
I love lilacs, the delicate fragrance, the beautiful purple flowers. I remember a bush from my childhood and the only perfume I ever wear has lilac in it.
Thanks for the reminder.
Some things aren’t meant to flavor coffee. I was pleasantly surprised with orange flavored coffee beans from Barnies and I loved their coconut flavored beans as well.
Grandmas and lilacs are ok with me. LOL
