It's actually a decent time to be in Indiana. Things are flowering and blooming that I haven't seen in nine years-- some things I'd planted myself and had never seen bloom! We have at least ten kinds of daffodils, some tulips, bleeding hearts, hyacinths, snowdrops, flowering trees in pink and purple and white and yellow, and... LILACS.
My parents have four different kinds of lilac in about seven huge bushes, and I missed them tons! When the lilacs bloom within the next couple of days, the yard will be insane with beauty and that lovely lilac scent. Wheee! Here are some flowers I cut to take into work today:

In other news, I've offered again for a home, so wish me luck that the negotiations go well and I can get it down into my price range. This one is actually a newer home than the others I'd been looking at (only twenty years old). It seduced me with its brand new roof and efficient, green furnace and water heater, and new kitchen appliances. If I don't get it, there's a 1960s ranch with a pink bathroom that is still unclaimed. :)
HAPPY FRIDAY, everyone!
