The lilacs are blooming everywhere in Marianivka and all through Ukraine, filling the air with their wonderful scent of early summer. In Kyiv, the Botanical Gardens over looking the Vydubetsky Monastery and the Dnipro River are covered in Lilacs at this time of year. The Gardens have a collection of every lilac variety in the world and it is almost a pilgrimage for Kyivites every spring during lilac time to visit the gardens. They also have a lilac nursery that does a brisk business.

Immediately. I told you May was the best time. And Tanya made oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookies again.
