Lilacs

The smell of lilacs in the spring is my favorite smell in the whole world and I think it is because it reminds me of those days on the farm. On the farm we had two huge, purple, lilac bushes that would bloom as soon as the last frost had passed, the robins returned, and the tulips started poking out of the ground. I loved to hold my nose close to the lilacs and take in their sweet scent. Sometimes, my mom would help me cut a few and we put them in a vase and I got to take them to school and give them to my teacher.
