The smell of spring

The smell of lilacs in the spring, to me, is more than a fragrance, it's a moment. Because in the measurement of time it feels like they only bloom for a moment and then they're gone again. Some years back I began to try to extend that moment by cutting them and bringing them in the house. OHHHH, the smell! Not to mention they are the most gorgeous shade of purple. There's nothing like fresh cut lilacs in the house.
