Bird Feeders and Lilacs

Every year around this time, when my Spring Clematis blooms, we change the look of the bird feeder.  The red top is taken off and the pink one set in its place.

                      The bottom piece is three-sided and slips over the tiled front.

                                Here the Clematis is not yet in full bloom. In the background you can see our                          20 foot high Lilac. It's getting harder and harder to reach any of the flowers.

There is a lilac bush across the street in a yard no one cares for much ( the man who lived there alone died recently).  That shrub has the most lovely white blooms that are tinged with pink until they open fully.   DH knows how much I love those flowers so he went to get me just one blossom. Yes, that is a single one. Isn't it huge?

 It's a very warm and sunny day today. I've been outside but now it seems just too warm to do much. I'll wait until the cool of the evening.
