the love of lilac

on saturday morning at the farmers’ market, luke & i passed by a farmer’s booth boasting with the most beautiful lilac bush. choosing to spend our $15 on greens & root vegetables instead of the lovely- but inedible- lilac bush, i continued to dream of lilac throughout the day.
the weekend passed too soon & monday was here. i was staring out the window when i spotted a pretty purple flower out of the corner of my eye. to my surprise, the big unidentifiable bush out our window was in full bloom with the most beautiful, sweet scented lilac. 
every night for dinner, luke & i set the table with candles, cloth napkins, & a bouquet if we’re lucky. we always sit side-by-side, sharing conversation & a few moments of rest before going on to our next task. i cut a few lilac blooms for our dinner that evening & placed the stems in a mason jar to make our dinner table a little more special. 
these are the little moments that make life precious. a wrinkled tablecloth & a mason jar of surprise lilac.
happy wednesday, friends. take notice of the little delights today!
love,
natalie
