Lilac Time

Xhico's Dining Table

I love lilacs. My grandfather had a lilac tree in his backyard. I remember a place on the way from my grandfather's in Riverbank to my home town of Oakdale. There was this grand tree with lilac vines fiercely growing upon it and it would become engorged with purple.

Today I got some lilacs and tulips at Silver Lake Farmers' Market and made a little arrangement for my table. I buy flowers from this very nice man almost every week. Today I learned that his cousin actually grows the flowers on a farm in the Ventura area. I love that they keep it in the family. You can also see my wall of some art hanging salon style. These are pieces I've collected or that have been given to me over the years.
