Life As an Afterschool Special

I think you can tell a lot about a woman by what her favorite flower is and the way she describes it.

Most people know that my favorite flower to recieve is a gerber daisy

In fact I went to the farmers market yesterday and now have a vase a gereber daisies on my desk at work.

I think they are bright and bold and fun and yet a little fragile.

and I think that is usually a pretty acurate description of myself.

But I have a secret.

But my real favorite flower is really lilacs.

Only a few people know that about me.

My best Susie and I sometimes go on lilacs hunts… we grab scissors and a vase and to the edge of highways and to parks and anywhere we can find lilac bushes that dont technically belong to anyone (and sometimes that do)

I love the way they smell. I love the color. I love the tiny little flowers.

I love that they overpower a room. I love how bold they are and yet how delicate they are.

I think lilacs are such a feminine flower.

There is nothing better to me than to have a whole room full of lilacs.

Last night I was walking home and spring was in the air and all the lilac bushes were starting to bloom and you could just smell flowers everywhere.

And I am so excited I can hardly wait for them to finish blooming.
