I made it to my parent’s yesterday afternoon. A bit earlier than anticipated because I was trying to beat the weather. The 2-hour drive wasn’t great, but it wasn’t horrible either and I made it safe and sound. The ice came later and this morning we were treated to beautiful ice covered nature. . . and lots of broken branches.
Here’s the tree in my parent’s front yard.
The backyard.
Of course I have to show you the lilacs bushes from which this blog gets its title.

So beautiful!
We are staying in today and just enjoying time together. The plan is to frost some cookies, make some fudge, watch some movies and just relax!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
