Lilacs And Fried Dough

With tree blossoms a full month ahead of schedule in this part of the country farmers are concerned that a cold snap could damage this year’s fruit crop. That would be a shame but it hard to find fault with this gorgeous weather. Some people say we’l be punished for this. My father say’s we’ve earned it. Shelley is upset because the nights have not been cold enough for the sap to flow. She has given up on syruping this year.

I’m hoping this will be the year when the lilacs will have come and gone by the time the officially announced celebration begins.

  1. The lilacs are predicted to be about a month early so I think you’ll get your wish. Last year the festival was rained out and the year earlier they were completely done before it started. I think they need to start rethinking how they plan that thing. Personally, I love the fact that I can go see them without all that hoopla going on around them.
