Perfumed White Lilac Tree

Happy July 4th to our American neighbours!

This is a  flowering white lilac tree. These trees are actually quite common around here and the flowers are now starting to turn brown and wither.  When I took this photo a few weeks ago, you could smell their perfume in cool breeze and I thought how much I loved summer.  Until yesterday which might have been the hottest afternoon of the year.  And tell me, how many bug bites have you gotten so far?  Just kidding, it sure beats the cold winter.

Lilac would be so lovely! Hang in there during the heat:) We are in Arizona and have been blessed with afternoon rain showers that have broken up the heat...and up here...no bugs! Yay!
