That's one of my favorite scents in the whole world. They bloomed here a month ago, however, and are now gone for the year. We used to live in this old stone farmhouse out on the highway. Under the window were all these lilac bushes and in the hollow beyond were hundreds of redbud trees. At just the right time of spring you could lay on the bed on the second floor with the window open and be in heaven. The smell of lilac would flood the room, and when you looked out at the redbud trees it was like the world was a big purple Impressionistic painting.
