Don't know whether you have noticed it or not, but an old Vermont Bush that usually blossoms in time for graduation has blossomed just a little early this year. Every time I see a lilac bush sitting someplace where there is no house around it, it makes me wonder if sometime long ago there used to be a house there -- Like the one sitting across from Jim & Jeanne Gross's house. No old time homestead to my knowledge was without one of these bushes and they always made great flowers for graduation for we thrifty old Vermonters.
Below is a real early blooming lilac this year sent to me by Theresa Gross:
