I love lilacs. When I was little, we had a giant lilac bush by our driveway. I couldn't wait for spring to come every year so I could smell that glorious scent. Being a military family, we have moved quite a bit. With each house search I'd ask my question: "Does it have a lilac bush?" Not like it was a deal-breaker, I just had to know (hope). When we moved into our current house in the middle of a winter snow storm in Colorado, my usual lilac question had escaped my mind. As spring approached, I told my husband that he should get rid of that big, ugly bush by the deck that blocked my view from the kitchen window. A month or so later he uttered the words I couldn't believe, "I think it's a lilac." No way! This big, monstrous (ugly) bush might be a lilac?! Yes, indeed, that's what it turned out to be. It's not just any lilac bush either, it's just about the size of the one we had by my childhood house-- it's a giant! I guess we'd finally found home.
