Lilac Bud

My lilac bush if finally budding! This bush is older than I am. It was here when my parents bought this house in 1951 - the year that I was born. It was ailing a few years ago but we found the problem and treated it and now it blooms like crazy. The smell of this bush is a link to my parents.
