As often as I can, I like to eat outside.
The last two mornings I have breakfasted on the back deck, enjoying the gentle spring air, and the sight and fragrance of lilacs tumbling over the fence from the neighbour’s yard.
No dining room can provide a more perfect setting than this.
A simple pleasure, indeed.
That is indeed, a lovely simple pleasure 😉
Yes, aren’t I lucky to have such a view to enjoy with my bowl of oatmeal?
Beautiful Marlene.
Thank you! It’s fun to discover all the delights our new yard has to offer!
Aren’t they pretty. I pick them and bring them in the house. Enjoy the lilacs with their awesome fragrance Marlene.
It’s wonderful to have a vase of lilacs in the house, they’re so pretty and fragrant. Since these don’t belong to us and I’d like to stay on the new neighbours’ good side, I won’t be cutting any to bring inside!
Love these beautiful pictures.
Thank you! Isn’t it wonderful to be able to enjoy these from our back verandah?

What a delightful outlook to contemplate the day ahead. Lilacs are such a wonderful flower – visually attractive and with such a fragrant scent.
As you said, a simple pleasure, indeed. 🙂
A lilac vista is a delightful start to the day, indeed.
deep happy fragrant sigh!!! thank you!
You’re most welcome 😊
Wow those llilacs are beautiful!! We’ve just said goodbye to the last of the wisteria for this year which I love! It’s bouganvilla next!
I love wisteria, too. I had a whole fence full of it at my last house, and it sure takes some keeping in check! But it’s worth it for its ethereal blossoms and lovely green screen. I had it on a pergola once and it was like having a leafy umbrella over us.
