Sumter in Spring

Now that we've officially entered spring, you know with Easter this weekend and all, I just have to tell you how much I love Sumter, SC in spring.  One of my favorite things about this town is how the whole area changes from browns and light greens to verdant and overflowing greens of all shades.  The area here is full of waterways and curtains of ivy cover all the forested sections.  It's so beautiful.

 But the best part of Sumter in spring for me are the immense amount of lilacs draping from bushes, trees, poles, and anything on anything in which it comes in contact.  The smell is tremendous and lilacs mixed with warm, soft breezes and a blue sky is the way to spend a spring.

See - had no idea how pretty our little town could get did you?  There's always something worth noticing!  How grateful I am for the beautiful lilacs that fill my gaze and the gorgeous colors on all the trees and bushes.  Love it!
