Oh lilacs. I love them. You are ahead of us--our lilac plants are just starting to show the teensiest buds. I have got to figure out a way to somehow 'root' them from my aunt's house (the ancestral farmhouse on our property) to our yard!
I'm wondering if Tartine bread baking in summer could be thinkable, using an outdoor grill. This link is for a video Jeff Hertzberg (Artisan Bread in 5....) did, baking a boule outdoors. http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/2009/05/19/kicking-off-the-outdoor-baking-season-with-a-boule-on-the-gas-grill#comments Buttercup of the North
You have lilacs! We're just getting daffodils here, which is perfectly fine, of course. I love the splashes of yellow, but lilacs are my favorite spring flowers, so I'm just a tad jealous that you have them already!
Have you tried the paint and primer in one yet? There are a few brands, my favorite as it goes on smooth and is highly washable is Clark + Kensington by Ace Hardware. I cheated and looked at the can name for that. The bathroom is this divine pale, pale lilacy gray called Sleek Siamese. What a nice change from the deep orange, which was lovely but not in the bathroom!
I am an evangelical Christian. I have two daughters whom I homeschool: Bella (15), and Daisy (8), and three older children: Giles (21), a college graduate, Felix (19), a college junior, and Clara (17), a college freshman. I'm 42 years old and happily married to my Dear Composer. We live in a 1920's school converted into a home, outside of town. And God is good.
Feel free to Pin my photos, but please link back to the page you found them on.
Photography
Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!

I'm impressed with how often you paint. Our walls are getting really dingy but oy vey, the thought of tearing up a room to paint it. . .
Your little photo series is MUCH nicer to focus on!
Such beautiful detail!

Amazing photos...
oops, sorry - Jeff Hertzberg's info about bread on the grill was words and photos, but not video. Still...food for thought?
