#Discworld #it occurred to me this afternoon #that this is the first Glorious Twenty-Fifth to be #you know #after #I didn’t mind the sprig of lilac on my hip so much after that #(I dislike the scent but it is traditional) #(and some of the branches of my neighbour’s lilac tree hang over the property line) #GNU Terry Pratchett

#our home and cherished land #(the white trillium is Ontario’s provincial flower) #(and Ontario actually kind of *cares* about what their official flower is) #(like they name stuff after it and everything)
Handy tip: do not wear the lilac near your head (chest level is too close) unless you like having everything taste of lilac. (I always assumed Yankee Candle just wasn’t capturing the scent very well, but then I actually smelled lilac and found it really is that bad.)

#Geek Pride Day #my next-door neighbour’s lilac tree is blooming later this year #right now it only has one sprig of flowers open #not enough to spare a couple for us #(the handy tip is from last year’s experience)
(Interesting that the original picture is more purple than this version. I think I actually like this one better; it seems more ethereal. Anyway, I’ve encountered too many artists’ complaints and PSAs to dare reblog sourceless art.)
