flowering bushes

Malad yards have wonderful flowering bushes--or trees, they are 3 times taller than I am.  This is the typical lavender colored lilac--and smells  amazing!

 A white lilac.  There also are very dark purple lilac bushes here, but not in this yard.  The three colors looks so beautiful together.  

This is a "snowball bush"--that is what I have heard it called all my life.  There probably is a better  "gardeny"  name.  You hardly see these anymore--they are very old fashioned. 

They look a lot like the popular hydrangia up close--but hanging all over a  bush!  SO PRETTY!

We had a good laugh during scriptures the other night, when  I  noticed that Marci had started to "tear" up her bookmark.  Silly girl.
