We had record rain last week and it persisted over 3 days. It was a wet, soggy world when I ventured out for a many mile walk. The sun was trying to shine, but it was a struggle.

The picture above tells the 6 pm story at the tail end of a brief rainy season. We aren’t used to such prolonged and heavy rain events in Denver, where the climate is semi-arid.

How I do love lilacs above all spring blossoms. The scent transports me right back to childhood, when I remember first noticing these magnificent shrubs and their intoxicating perfume!

I made doll purses from the lilac leaves. They were just the right shape!
