With the cheapo rollers, if I got busy and waited too long between coats and the roller was too crusty, I just got rid of it and started with a new one.

Today I really feel drawn to talk about why lilacs are one of the very best flowering shrubs you can choose to have around your property.And you can’t stop me.

Nor should you, because I speak the truth!.I’ve been waiting to enjoy lilacs from this giant tree for the last 2 years.Last year we had a weird early hot spell and then a late frost and it pretty much killed the season for flowering trees.

I was hopeful, but no flowers came all year..This year more than made up for it though.

Being a first-time lilac tree owner, I’ve discovered that I had every right to be excited about this tree and that lilacs are awesome.. Lilacs give so much and ask for so little in return.

As long as they get established, they pretty much keep to themselves and don’t really need anything from you..Oh, oops… I just did.

I think they’re pretty!.This underneath part has always bothered me.

I never know what to do with it.This time though, I think I got it..
