Lilacs, Water, and Technology


It's been a day. 

Not earth shattering, not tragic, just one for some household problems. A little seeping water in the bathroom, a wet pipe in the basement,  being "Connected" to the internet yet "No Internet Access", some sound and picture issues on the television. Bizarre.




Time to sniff some lilacs
and wonder how I managed to get reconnected to you (and for how long),
wait to see if reseting the digital box will cure the TV issue,
and, in a moment, look up the number of a plumber to call in the morning.





Everything will be figured out and dealt with soon. 




For this Sunday evening, I'll just sit and breathe in the soothing lilac scent.

If I take awhile to respond to comments, it will be because of another internet gremlin.

Have a wonderful week!


I'm linking with Mary for "Mosaic Monday". I hope you'll visit there.

  2. Your lilacs are gorgeous. I love them, but can't grow them here and I miss them very much! Never knew how much I missed them until I started seeing the blogging posts about lilacs!

  3. I do love your lilacs, my baby bush has not put out many blooms. I do hope your internet problems are fixed as your plumbing problem. Wishing you a happy week ahead!

  4. I can just imagine the heavenly scent of your lilacs. They are all done here already - such a short season, but sweet. Your photos are just gorgeous.
    I hope all the little problems that can be so frustrating will soon be sorted out. Plumbing and internet are modern day necessities, although I'd sooner do without internet than plumbing.

  5. I love lilacs and they certainly would cheer up your frustrating day! Lilacs don't grow here and the crape myrtles that are the South's equivalent to lilacs don't have a heavenly scent so I am certainly enjoying yours!

  12. Some days are like that - but the lilacs do help. I love the little pitcher and matches the lilacs. Great photos - hope all comes out well for you.

  15. I can almost smell the Lilacs through my computer screen. They are simply gorgeous. Maybe you need to disconnect with us so you can fully connect with the earth around you undistracted? Behind every delay is a blessing. :-)

  17. Boy, sometimes that happens to us, one thing after another. You have handled it well, though. It's great that you took time to smell and enjoy the lilacs. They are just lovely. Hope the water problem is something simple.

  18. Good Evening Karen, Oh no, how annoying, everything going on the "blink" all at once. I do hope your plumbing problem has been sorted out, so that you can rest easy.
    The lilac you have placed in your vase look so lovely.
    I think I might have mentioned before that I love lilac, the perfume is beautiful. When George's father was with us, he planted a lilac bush which has grown huge. Each year it sends up shoots, which I dig out and plant into pots for the family. This year is the first year I have blooms on my lilac bush and I am so excited..... believe it or not the bush is only about 12 inches high, but it is smothered in buds.
    I am keeping my fingers crossed that your tv is alright and your internet.
    Best Wishes to you,
    Daphne

  19. Hi Karen,

    I can't stop staring at the close up images of your lovely, lush lilacs!! Wish I could take in their heady scent, which I miss! Was able to grow just one bouquet this spring, thankfully, it was just enough to take in their heavenly, sweet scent. I hope you get everything sorted out soon, but until then, keep the lilacs close by for soulful support!

    Following you now and hope you'll follow back.:)
