Just on the edge of the city of Boston there is a really hip little neighborhood called Jamaica Plain. In it there are beautiful old houses, delicious restaurants, and a little spot of land known as the Arnold Arboretum. In this spot of land, which is actually quite grand, there is a pocket of lilac trees that grow and bloom each year.
People come from all over the city {and likely from beyond} to celebrate and enjoy the trees.
This year was my first ever Lilac Sunday, and I liked it so much I think I may just have to make it a tradition…
This day was made for loving lilacs, which is not hard to do.
We walked through the trees together in the light and warmth of the day. We oooed and aahhed at the VERY visible pollen floating through the air. It was amazing and also incredibly unbelievable + terrifying for an allergy sufferer such as myself {luckily, my meds did their thing! No runny eyes for me!}. And then we went to enjoy lunch at City Feed and Supply. Which I recommend to all. {And desperately wish was closer to where I live.}
Love you, JP. LOVE YOU, SPRING!
