Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Lilac. Growing up we had out-of-control, seven-foot-high lilac hedges border two sides of the backyard. Smelling a lilac in bloom brings me right back to the secret forts I'd build beneath their branches.

I have them growing on the southeast side of my house next to the living room windows. I also have a late spring blooming lilac right next to another window so I get some super lovely bursts of scent for several weeks. Glorious.

I do not at all regret planting those, and they do a great job shading the brick from the sun and keeping the house cooler.
