As the years go by I realize that May is a special time of year for me. My childhood home, and parent's current house, has a huge lilac bush in the backyard. Not only have I been enjoying the scent of lilacs since I was six years old, but also I've been picking bouquets since then. Concurrent with the lilac blooms is the appearance of morel mushrooms, which my Dad has been hunting for a very long time! I try to continue the tradition.
Our apartment building has two different varieties of lilacs in front, as well as a few mushrooms springing up! This year I found the morels not in the front yard, but rather the side and the rear of the building, where two years ago several elm trees were cut down.
And for Cousin Senor R, my own tulip photo, with a lilac bush in the background:
Stay tuned for a full report of our camping trip!

That's awesome! I don't think we have morels growing here in Milwaukee, but I could be wrong! Happy Spring!
Very, Very Nice!

Ummm-
You are eagle eyed, M'Lady- I never noticed a single morel in the yard back in our roomie days. Were you just hiding them from me?
Also, I'm going to experiment with roasting green coffee beans soon. Any tips?
