"Go East", they said...: Weeping Lilac Tree

Dear Friend;

Come along, make haste and join us in our adventures while living "In The East".

We are living in the east, geographically speaking, after a sudden work transfer beckoned us almost across the entire country, splitting our family in half with grown children/grandchildren remaining behind on the west coast.

We moved into our new home April/06 but never knew it would be God's providence to endure another move for work and positioning for a future medical situation. We moved again amidst 4 feet of snow in mid Dec/08.

We hope to continue sharing our pioneering moments with our family and friends back home, creating an environment for tenderly passing along the new memories we'll be making over here in the east, those that will stand the test of time in both thought and deed.

Sprinkling some ambiance into the mix will be a fully loaded and most positive outlook while we're on this adventure and new challenge together.

Please join us while we journey onward. Feel free to email me with your comments, questions or ideas. We welcome you here.

Sursum Corda!
Renee

Weeping Lilac Tree

Give me odorous at sunrise,

a garden of beautiful flowers

is where I can walk undisturbed

~ Walt Whitman

These are the flowers from our new "Weeping Lilac Tree", the one the gardener recommended for replacement for our "Blue Spruce Tree".

When I asked if there was a lovely scent to them, he responded with "not too much", but oh boy, happy to report he was actually incorrect on that, perhaps thinking not so much compared to other lilacs.

Lovely lilac scents are abundant and follow me as I pass the tree. Such a bonus for us.
