Lilacs

Portion of Walt Whitman Poem:
In the door-yard fronting an old farm-house, near the white-washd palings,
Stands the lilac bush, tall-growing, with heart-shaped leaves of rich green,
With many a pointed blossom, rising, delicate, with the perfume strong I love,
With every leaf a miracle - and from this bush in the door-yard,
With delicate-colord blossoms, and heart-shaped leaves of rich green,
A sprig, with its flower, I break

Journaling: Growing up in Connecticut I have wonderful memories of the lilacs bushes in our yard, and the wondeful scent they had. It saddens me that Poway does not have enough frost days for them to grow here. I cherish the blooms that I see each spring at Pattis in Ramona, as they do get more frost.
