I'll be curious to see who wins the race.
Loraine and I are heading downstate to visit her dad over the Memorial Day weekend. Because of the timing of our trip, I'm kind of curious what will happen first—will we get home in time, or will the lilacs bloom while we're gone?
I'm hoping it's the former, because I really don't want it to be the latter.
For a point of reference, here's what the lilac buds looked like on my way home from work last night--
Given their current state and given their history of popping out right around the Memorial Day holiday I'm hoping I don't miss the most wonderful time of the year. I'm thinking that, because of the fact we've had a cold Spring and that the holiday's a little earlier than usual, I might be safe, but one never does want to take chances when dealing with fresh lilacs, do they?
Or is that just me? Please tell me that's not just me.
8-)
Don't worry; I'll be obsessively checking their status over the weekend, as well as writing at least two TV pieces (because going downstate means I need to work ahead). So I have the next few days mapped out. Hope yours is equally as fun!
