Spring is in Full Bloom

Earlier this week we had three nights with frost advisories for the Rochester area. I carefully covered the tomato and pepper plants each evening to protect them, and they seem to have survived the cold nights.

Warmer weather has returned, and the deep purple lilacs in my yard are now in full bloom. Their fragrance fills the air and makes it into the house on breezy evenings like tonight.

I'm not sure what variety of lilacs produce these deep purple blooms. If you know, please leave a comment. Here are some more shots of these lovely bushes; I wish I could also share the fragrance on these pages!
