No Place Like Home

The Lilac's are in full bloom on the farm.

Sometimes, when I look at them and smell them, I get 'salty'. Why, you ask? Because instead of being home enjoying them, I have to go sit at work. I know to be grateful I have a good, secure job, but dang! Sometimes the importance of it seems so...so.... not important, when I could be at home enjoying all there is to take in on the farm in the Spring.

Lilacs
Apple Blossoms
The smell of the horses mixed with the warm Spring air......
Watching my baby smile
Planting the garden

Oh the things we could enjoy if we didn't have to work, right!

So, I did the next best thing, I suppose; Have hubby pick me a bouquet that I can take to work and sit on my desk. The sweet smell that fills my office is wonderful with the Lilacs, but even still, it just makes me miss what I could be enjoying at home! No place like home!
