Hi LadyBanana,

Well come on over, we are only separated by a "pond"! ;o) Bring your camera!... I wish you could see it.

Admittedly I haven't gone yet, but will this weekend. The news says it's a good year for it, and are breaking all kinds of records. Rochester has many wonderful festivals. I just love it!

I love Lilacs. The first time i truly saw how beautiful the bushes could be was when i lived in NY. It is amazing how in NY every where you go you can see them. When moving to Virginia, i have decided that i want a few bushes in my yard. :) Thank you for sharing.

Blessings

Hi Mysti,

As a kid we had a lilac bush, and a rose bush in our back yard. So sometimes we had fresh flowers at the dinner table. It was nice.
