The Fragrance of Summer Rain

I love lilacs, they bloom in June and have a strong fragrance. In the beginning of summer I always wait impatiently for the first lilacs to bloom. My fondest memories are of a gentle summer rain that enhances the fragrance of the lilacs which flows gently into my home. It is such a comforting odour with promises of summers lazy days.

"Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby." - Langston Hughes
