Sand hill crane and her babies wandering through the neighborhood

Lily, from another year. Not sure if they will come up this year as we are watering so little.

The old ones are the best. There are a few "old" lilacs in my neighborhood and they are wonderful to walk past. I have a "new" lilac and it has produced flowers only once......and they had no smell. :(
